(Marion) – It’s back to school today for Marion ISD students. This makes the Marion ISD the final district in Guadalupe County to open its doors. All other districts, including Seguin, Navarro, and SchertzCibolo-Universal City ISDs began classes
last week. Marion ISD Superintendent Don Beck said he feels a strong sense of momentum heading into the year after a student-led convocation held last Friday. School, pg. 3
(Seguin) -- Facing one of the fastest growth rates among school districts in the San Antonio area, Marion ISD will be turning to its voters this fall to decide on a $60 million bond issue. On Monday, the Marion ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved the calling of a bond election for Nov. 4, 2025. Marion ISD Superintendent Don Beck says the district will be asking voters to consider a $60 million package that will appear on the ballot as one proposition. That proposition includes a new elementary school, new buses, land acquisition, along
with district-wide upgrades. He says the district, which has been adding about 100 students each year, reached an enrollment of 1,709 students last year -- and projections show that number will continue to climb. “We did a demographics study that shows that we were the 26th largest district in the San Antonio area which that is not really large being the 26th spot but we are the third fastest growing right behind Medina Valley and Castroville based on the numbers the last three years due to the homes that are coming in off of South Santa Clara,” said Dr. Beck.
