Seguin ISD unveils accountability improvement plan, targets four campuses for intensive support
Loading...
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Lee outlined a districtwide accountability improvement strategy that ranks campuses into three levels; four campuses (Jefferson, Barnes Middle, Rodriguez Elementary, Seguin High) were designated level 3 for concentrated leadership coaching, instructional coaching, monitoring, and TEA‑required targeted improvement plans approved by trustees.
Seguin ISD superintendent Dr. Lee presented a multi‑pronged accountability improvement plan designed to raise academic performance across campuses, then asked the board to approve targeted improvement/turnaround plans for several campuses.
The plan levels campuses as 1–3 based on current and recent accountability ratings. Level 3 campuses — Jefferson Elementary, Barnes Middle School, Rodriguez Elementary and Seguin High School — will receive the most intensive support, including bimonthly virtual leadership coaching, monthly on‑site leadership coaching, quarterly instructional rounds, biweekly teacher training on high‑impact instructional strategies, monthly coaching cycles for core tested subjects, and an instructional‑coach staffing target (roughly 1 coach per 250 students for tested subjects).
Dr. Lee said the district has already started work with outside consultants and conducted professional development on state accountability in November. The work also includes redesigning evaluations to align with campus performance measures and increasing data collection and monitoring cadence (accountability meetings every six weeks for level‑3 campuses).
Trustees voted to approve the district’s 2025–26 targeted improvement and turnaround plans for Seguin High, Jefferson, Vogel, Jim Barnes, and AJB Middle School. The motion to approve was made by Miss Duncan, seconded by Mister Dwyer, and passed 7–0.
Dr. Lee warned the board that cultural change and improved outcomes will take time and that the district will publicly post the targeted plans once finalized and will monitor implementation closely.
Next steps: initiation of coaching and instructional rounds in January and February, a full instructional review, and public posting of each campus’s approved targeted improvement plan.
