Boerne ISD administrators reported enrollment gains and program expansions in early learning and described a communications overhaul aimed at centralizing parent outreach.

Renee Munn, director of instruction for early learning, said enrollment in the district’s early learning units rose to 271 students (up from 269 reported earlier), with approximately 24% of those students qualifying for special education services and about 17% military‑connected. Munn also noted a roughly 50% decline in participation in the Spanish bilingual program compared with previous years and said the district is tracking enrollment shifts as families move into the district.

Early‑learning initiatives highlighted by Munn included the district's Jump Start kindergarten transition (about 150 students participated in the two‑week summer program), a pre‑K blueprint for learning environments and participation in the Texas Reading Academy to improve literacy instruction. The district set a combined K–2 proficiency target of 83% by year end and described steps — coaching, job‑embedded professional learning, and curriculum alignment — to reach that goal.

Communications director Dr. Dominguez presented the ParentSquare messaging platform, which the district launched in August after replacing Blackboard. ParentSquare syncs nightly with Skyward and serves as a central hub for mass communications, event signups and teacher messaging. Early adopters include several elementary campuses; administrators estimated roughly 46% parent interaction so far and said messages are retained for seven years on the platform. The district plans full campus implementation by August 2026 and a StudentSquare pilot in spring 2026 to consolidate activity and athletics communications.

Trustees and parents in the audience praised both the early‑learning work and the communications shift as ways to improve family engagement and district transparency. District staff said they will continue training and phased rollouts to bring all campuses onto the platform.
