Fabens ISD schedules community town hall for December to expand outreach
Summary
Superintendent Segovia pitched a district town hall series to improve two‑way communication; trustees agreed to a bilingual format and selected Dec. 3 as the first target date, with topics to include school safety, attendance, the budget and academic performance.
Superintendent Segovia proposed a Fabens ISD town hall series to strengthen ties between the board, district leadership and the community. The board reviewed objectives—two‑way communication, trust‑building, problem identification—and possible dates and topics. Suggested topics included school safety, attendance, the budget and the role of the board.
Segovia recommended a rotating format where board members engage directly with parents and community leaders and asked trustees to provide topic priorities. Trustees discussed bilingual delivery (English/Spanish), logistics, security and possible outreach tools (surveys to collect topics). Several trustees favored a December date and the board moved to schedule the town hall, directing administration to promote the event, survey the community for topics and arrange bilingual supports.
The board approved the plan and selected Dec. 3 as a target date for the first town hall while leaving topic refinement to staff and trustees.
