Seguin ISD receives D overall in 2025 accountability report; trustees press for monthly updates and focus on secondary instruction
Summary
District administrators presented the 2025 accountability results showing an overall scaled score of 66 (D); trustees pressed for regular updates and targeted steps to improve secondary performance and closing-the-gaps measures.
Seguin ISD administrators presented the district2025 accountability results at the Sept. 11 board meeting, reporting an overall scaled score of 66, a district letter grade of D. Officials described gains at some campuses and declines at others, and trustees asked for frequent updates and clearer district-level actions to address the lower-scoring secondary campuses.
"We have work to do," Superintendent Dr. Lee said after board members pressed for concrete follow-up on campuses rated D and F. Administrators said the district's overall score was the product of three domains: student achievement, school progress and closing-the-gaps; state rules count the higher of student achievement or school progress for 70 percent of the grade and give closing-the-gaps 30 percent.
District staff reported that 58 percent of Seguin ISD campuses improved their letter rating from 2024 to 2025 and that several campuses recorded distinctions for performance or growth. Administrators also noted that some secondary campuses lagged and that the district must tighten tier-1 instruction and curriculum implementation to raise overall performance.
Board concerns: Trustee Linda Burns (addressed in the meeting as "Miss Burns") pressed the administration on secondary performance and said the district-level D rating was "very concerning" and merited monthly progress reports on D and F campuses. Dr. Lee agreed to provide regular updates and work with the board to specify the content and frequency of those reports.
Planned responses: Administrators described districtwide steps already underway, including implementing high-quality instructional materials (HQIM), strengthening professional learning communities and targeted coaching for principals and instructional coaches. The board also approved a consulting agreement with BlueJean Educational Consulting to support strategic planning, instructional review and professional development; the agreement exceeds the boards internal $50,000 approval threshold and was brought for vote.
What trustees asked for next: more explicit monthly reporting on secondary campuses and on D/F campuses' planned interventions, clearer descriptions of new strategies versus continued initiatives, and follow-up on specific interventions for algebra and other subjects that affect secondary accountability.
