The board met for more than four hours and voted unanimously on the major items. Trustees also approved TASB policy updates, a local policy revision (FFI), a child‑nutrition equipment purchase, hiring recommendations, two budget amendments and two trustee committee appointments.

Why it matters: The bond approvals allow the district to access the last phase of voter‑authorized construction funds without increasing the districtʼs debt tax rate, officials said. The refinancing is intended to lower interest costs and reduce the district’s long‑term debt burden. The targeted improvement plan lays out specific, near‑term interventions the campus will use to raise math and reading performance and close gaps before STAAR testing in spring.

Key votes and actions at a glance: the board recorded these formal outcomes (all tallies reported by the clerk at the meeting):
- Targeted improvement plan for Global Elementary: motion to adopt; moved by Board Member Bright; passed 7‑0.
- Low‑attendance waiver (Jan. 22, 2025 weather closure): motion to submit waiver to the Texas Education Agency; moved by Board Member Dwyer; seconded by Board Member Wright; passed 7‑0.
- TASB policy update (01/24 legal and local updates): first reading / consideration and approval motion recorded; passed 7‑0.
- Local policy update (FFI): first reading / consideration and approval motion recorded; passed 7‑0.
- Authorization to issue up to $46,000,000 in unlimited‑tax school building bonds (final sale parameters delegated to CFO): motion to approve and delegate execution; passed 7‑0.
- Authorization to issue up to $38,090,000 in unlimited‑tax refunding bonds (parameters delegated to CFO; preliminary net savings ~ $1.4M): motion to approve and delegate execution; passed 7‑0.
- Child Nutrition serving line purchase (two campuses): award to Arnold Refrigeration for modular serving lines and installation; passed 7‑0.
- Personnel actions (recommended hires and resignations) and two small budget amendments to cover mid‑year staffing additions: passed 7‑0.
- Creation of a board construction committee and appointment of a budget committee: motions to appoint passed 7‑0.

What the board said: Presenters described the bond timing and said the sales were planned for late April with funds expected to be available in May; the district financial advisor described anticipated fixed interest rates in the mid‑4% range. Trustees asked about tax‑rate impacts, and staff said the bond program was structured so the debt‑service tax rate should not increase if property‑value assumptions hold.

Context and next steps: The board delegated authority to the superintendent and chief financial officer to sign final financing documents once market conditions are appropriate. The district will submit the attendance waiver to TEA for the Jan. 22 weather day and proceed with scheduled procurement and hiring actions. The targeted improvement plan will be monitored by campus and district staff in weekly PLCs and progress‑monitoring cycles ahead of spring assessments.

Votes at the meeting were recorded in the minutes as unanimous (7‑0) for all items listed above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Seguin ISD Regular Board Meeting 02.25.25","oneSentenceSummary","Seguin ISD trustees on Feb. 24 approved a targeted improvement plan for Global Elementary and authorized up to $46 million in remaining voter‑approved school building bonds, along with a refinancing expected to save about $1.4 million, all by unanimous votes.","taxTitle","SEGUIN ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",38469,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":44,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6310583,"Seguin ISD adopts targeted improvement plan for Global Elementary with specific growth targets",350,9515000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2399675-209f536ad633d17fb01a52bf63f7a350&start=9165&end=9515","/articles/6310583/Texas/Seguin-ISD-adopts-targeted-improvement-plan-for-Global-Elementary-with-specific-growth-targets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6310583-362e35cec13da64beec2afef58fea9c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770908849&Signature=OcK~uYrLUnzYQudKg9LWmFHU0PkHCluzUcvCa0GbV~3c9Vnm737QL3mo7LZTRnsKaeuwttAqSoFqikb-ufLqrkZTimpeRVm4Z5B~yxV0k5JmDpMWY3NBN2-IU8-UxRegs8Otx82bSIb3qelzpS708uu0lbOqRPzLDfYkC-9TP1bs9Iv7V0X1xv0oxKLMCNP8~I0e9NRjRcgQXLmxvc0S4vwDxxRbxQtfsfN2q8lZ6pl3MHVuxQZq9-BxGg34bS3J7WXf-ZE5JNDduNBjE~eARAe7M9O5TccAjlGrV2w7nEe7-d44biyH3bFSbwBmyOVHYWm-MFfqPikyyAlrld58iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees on Feb. 24 approved a targeted improvement plan for Global Elementary aimed at boosting end‑of‑year reading and math performance for grades 3–5.

Campus leaders and instructional staff told trustees the plan focuses on two priorities: daily implementation of high‑quality instructional materials (HQIM) and tighter, data‑driven instruction in small groups. The plan uses frequent module assessments, exit tickets and student data binders (described by staff as \"shade your success\" artifacts) to identify students who are one to four questions away from the next performance level and to target interventions.

The campus set interim, measurable goals: an increase in the share of students meeting grade‑level expectations on STAR reading (grades 3–5) from 40% to 46% and a math target from 37% to 49% by the next reporting cycle. District presenters said those targets are reachable given the midyear baseline and focused intervention strategies.

How it will be measured: Teachers will bring student work and module results to weekly PLCs; instructional coaches will run small‑group readiness sessions, and leadership will monitor walk‑throughs and lesson plans. The plan includes differentiated group assignments by specific TEKS and named interventions for students scoring in particular bands on module assessments.

Board discussion: Trustees asked about tools, teacher coaching and how the campus would prevent test fatigue. Presenters said the RenStar screener and benchmark windows are intentional; they emphasized the plan is meant to inform immediate instructional adjustments rather than increase testing load beyond existing district assessments.

What happens next: The board adopted the plan unanimously. Campus and district staff will report progress to the board in upcoming meetings and provide updates before STAAR testing. The plan documentation and student artifact examples were filed with the board packet for trustee review.","The board unanimously adopted a campus plan that includes weekly PLCs, module assessments, exit‑ticket monitoring and student 'shade your success' artifacts.
