Community responds to handling of Seguin ISD’s Town Hall meeting
Comments on bullying shared with district officials Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The Seguin ISD didn’t score well on its Town Hall meeting this past Monday at the Seguin High School Performing Arts Center. Several individuals shared their failing grades with the district as they took to the podium to discuss concerns the following day during Tuesday night’s school board meeting. Recent incidents of suicide involving students and alleged bullying across campuses prompted the district to host the community-wide meeting. Prior to the meeting, the district collected, filtered, and grouped questions submitted by the public. Many said the district failed to deliver on promises of fully breaking
down the issue of bullying. Expectations included the district sharing more details about procedures and consequences and/or explaining its attempts at facilitating conflict resolution. Most of all, stakeholders were disappointed that the format did not include room for public comments or questions. They said the town hall meeting was simply a presentation –– a PowerPoint –– an attempt to waylay concerns that ultimately left attendees feeling ignored. Among those addressing the school board was Levi Robertson. Robertson says accountability starts with the school board and all those in charge of keeping kids safe. Town Hall, pg. 3
