Summary
District staff presented the Texas Academic Performance Report, an updated demographic study and a detailed career-and-technical-education (CTE) briefing; administrators said enrollment may be flat to slightly down next year, highlighted housing-driven long‑term growth, and outlined CTE expansions (IBCs, P‑TECH partners, Ag Science building opening June 2026).
Seguin ISD trustees received a set of informational reports on district performance, enrollment projections and CTE program developments.
Miss Miranda summarized the annual Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) and related sections: assessment performance by campus and grade, participation rates, graduation and dropout figures, college‑and‑career‑military readiness (CCMR) indicators and district accreditation status. She noted that the TAPR and the annual report are posted on district and TEA sites and available via QR code.
A demographic update from Zonda (presented by a consultant) reviewed housing activity and enrollment modeling. The consultant reported a mix of near‑term softness in the local labor and housing markets but significant housing pipelines in key zones (McQueeney, Vogel, Walnut Springs), estimating several hundred lots and projecting long‑term enrollment increases in the 5–10 year horizon. The consultant said district enrollment projections could range conservatively for the next 1–2 years and gave a mid‑range scenario toward 7,800 students in five years and as much as 8,900 in 10 years under higher‑growth assumptions.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) director Mister Harieta detailed program growth and certifications: Seguin ISD reported about 438 industry‑based certifications (IBCs) this past year and aims to increase that number; new middle‑school on‑ramps (audio/video, computer science), P‑TECH pharmacy technology dual‑credit with Lamar State College and cosmetology pathways were highlighted. The presentation noted that TEA's recent tiering of certain IBCs (tier 3 caps) requires districts to pivot to alternate IBCs to count toward CCMR. The district also announced the Ag Science Building will open in June 2026 and cited VITA tax services run by CTE students for eligible taxpayers.
Administrators said the reports will inform staffing, programmatic changes, and facility planning; trustees discussed use of the data for long‑range facility needs and enrollment management rather than immediate new construction given near‑term projection uncertainty.
