Board approves Optional Flexible School Day program for Seguin High School; MBLC participation continues
Summary
Trustees approved the district's 2025–26 Optional Flexible School Day (OFSD) application for Seguin High School and the Mercer Bloomberg Learning Center (MBLC) to offer alternative scheduling and credit-recovery options for over-age, under-credited students; staff reported 635 credits recovered and 68 graduates last year through the program.
The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees approved the district’s Optional Flexible School Day (OFSD) program application for the 2025–26 school year to operate at Seguin High School and the Mercer Bloomberg Learning Center (MBLC).
Assistant administrator Juan Munoz presented the program profile and implementation plan. Munoz said OFSD offers flexible hours, weekend and evening classes, credit-recovery and scheduling accommodations for students in grades 9–12 who are over-age or under-credited, have medical or work constraints, or otherwise are at risk of dropping out. He described a referral and application process that requires counselor review, parental notice and a committee approval step; students approved are placed at the start of the next grading cycle.
Munoz reported outcomes from the previous year: 635 credits recovered at Seguin High School and 68 students graduated as a result of participating in the program at the high school. He said staff expect about 75 student enrollments at the high school site in 2025–26, and MBLC will continue a parallel OFSD program; the presenters did not have combined MBLC numbers at the meeting but agreed to provide campus-level figures in follow-up.
Trustees approved the application by unanimous vote (6–0). The board also discussed logistical issues including the nine-week grading cycles used by the high school and the timing of student enrollments.
Why it matters: OFSD is an alternative pathway that supports completion for students who face barriers in a traditional schedule; continued approval keeps credit-recovery and flexible scheduling options available for students who need them.
