The Seguin Independent School District (ISD) Board Meeting on July 22, 2025, focused on critical discussions regarding school safety funding and employee health insurance contributions.

During the meeting, it was reported that Seguin ISD received a school safety allotment of $274,000 for the 2024-2025 school year, with projections indicating an increase to approximately $606,000 for the 2025-2026 school year, contingent on student enrollment remaining stable. This funding is essential as the district aims to enhance safety measures within schools.

Another significant topic was the district's contributions to employee health insurance. Since the 2019-2020 school year, Seguin ISD has consistently contributed $368 per month towards employer-sponsored health insurance. However, it was noted that health insurance premiums are set to increase by $42 to $49 for the upcoming school year. This rise in costs will likely be passed on to employees unless the district decides to adjust its contribution levels.

The discussion also touched on the potential for changes to employee contributions, emphasizing the need for timely decisions ahead of the upcoming legislative session in August. The board was presented with options and historical data to facilitate informed decision-making regarding employee compensation and health benefits.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to maintaining safety and supporting its employees, while also navigating the financial implications of rising health insurance costs. Further discussions and decisions are expected in the coming months as the board prepares for legislative changes.
