Seguin ISD submits class size exception waiver to TEA after winter closures
Summary
Seguin ISD acknowledged submission of a class size exception waiver to the Texas Education Agency for the 2024–2025 year after several campuses exceeded the 22:1 PK–4 limit; board approved attendance waivers for specified campuses affected by the Jan. 22, 2025 freezing temperatures.
The board acknowledged that Seguin ISD submitted a class size exception waiver to the Texas Education Agency for the 2024–2025 school year after its review showed some PK–4 classes exceeded the statutory 22:1 limit under TEC §25.112. The board also approved attendance waivers for specific campuses affected by sub-freezing temperatures on Jan. 22, 2025, after Trustee William Dwyer moved and Trustee Joshua Bright seconded the motion.
Minutes include comparative attendance percentages showing notable drops (for example, district-level attendance moved from 91.55% to 82.14% in the relevant comparison), and the waiver request was framed by district staff as a response to extraordinary weather-related absences. The board approved the campus-level waivers listed in the motion; the district as a whole did not qualify for the waiver.
Submission of the waiver notifies TEA of exceptions and is required when any PK–4 class exceeds 22 students; the board’s action was procedural to comply with state reporting requirements.
