Seguin ISD again takes no action on superintendent evaluation Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The heroic efforts that quickly mobilized in Seguin and Guadalupe County during the COVID-19 pandemic were remembered Tuesday, March 4. March 4th was the date of the first reported COVID-19 case in Texas in 2020. The date is also now officially observed in the state of Texas as COVID-19 Heroes and Memorial Day. Guadalupe Regional Medical Center (GRMC) commemorated
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
and recognized the extraordinary efforts and sacrifices made by local healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chelsea Maldonado, GRMC director of marketing, says it is difficult to forget the frontline health care workers and other essential workers who demonstrated unwavering bravery in the face of a global pandemic – a pandemic in which 95,000 Texans lost their lives.

(Seguin) -- The school board's second attempt to address Seguin ISD Superintendent Veronica Vijil's evaluation has yielded the same results. After approximately four hours behind closed doors, the Seguin ISD Board of Trustees emerged from the closed session with no action taken in open session on Dr. Vijil’s evaluation. This included no contract extension or salary increase. Last month, the board engaged in
a similar process. However, at that time, the board approved the results of the evaluation that had been conducted in executive session. But the board has yet to offer any public details about how it feels about her performance. While the board on Monday was unable to share why her evaluation was again brought to the table, Dr. Vijil says she can at least confirm that the board has provided her with a new sense of direction.
