Seguin ISD has taken a significant step towards improving educational opportunities for at-risk students by approving the 2025-2026 Optional Flexible School Day Program during its recent board meeting. This initiative aims to provide flexible scheduling options for students in grades 9 through 12 who are at risk of dropping out, allowing them to recover credits and participate in early college programs.

The program, presented by Mr. Munoz, is designed to support students facing various challenges, including those who work to support their families, have medical issues, or have previously dropped out but wish to return to school. The board discussed the implementation plan, which includes offering classes during weekends, nights, and extended days, as well as credit recovery options.

In the previous year, the program successfully helped recover 635 credits and resulted in 68 students graduating. The board anticipates enrolling approximately 75 students in the upcoming year, with the potential for more as they track additional candidates.

The board unanimously approved the application, which will now be submitted to the Texas Education Agency for final review. This program is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing graduation rates and providing essential support to students who need it most.

Following the approval, the board moved into a closed session to discuss legal matters and emergency operations, ensuring that all aspects of the district's governance are addressed comprehensively. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue fostering educational success for all students in the Seguin community.
