The Voice of Seguin
Seguin ISD Superintendent shares more details behind Town Hall meeting
WEEKEND EDITION
TODAY
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The Seguin ISD is taking its own steps in addressing bullying and the handling of the issue within its campuses. A Town Hall Meeting to discuss bullying and other concerns is being planned for 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18 in the Seguin High School Performing Arts Center. Meanwhile, the community can’t help but note that the town hall meeting comes at the heels of a pair of TV news stories from San Antonio in which they hone in on the alleged bullying problem in the Seguin ISD. Recent tragedies involving the loss of students at Seguin High School reportedly prompted the area media outlet to provide more insight into the issue interviewing parents whose kids have been victimized. Although the district provided a written statement to the TV station, the district’s perspective was never really revealed.
That’s at least according to Superintendent Dr. Veronica Vijil who tells Seguin Radio KWED that there’s more to the story. “I’ll say two things about that. One is as a proactive measure; we reached out to the news channel and actually, I just completed an interview with that same reporter that conducted the other two stories. So, we wanted to get our story out there and that’s how I opened. Thanks for giving us a chance to have a voice in this and secondly, just recognizing that I haven’t’ been here a long time but I am a community member of Seguin and what I recognize is we are in mourning. That mourning manifests itself in different ways in different people. But what we are trying to do is for our students, inform them about ways that they can manage conflict. Meeting, pg. 4
