Seguin ISD Trustee works to address concerns of parents, community members

(Seguin) – A member of the Seguin ISD Board of Trustees is helping parents better navigate their way to ensuring that their concerns and/or questions are being addressed by the local district. In a statement read publicly during Thursday’s board meeting, District 7 Trustee Josh Bright personally reassured the community that when issues arise, they are being taken seriously.

He says with the desire to maintain transparency, it’s also important to remember, however, that they must also respect the privacy of all individuals involved.

That’s why he believes that folks looking for quick responses and better results should refrain from first addressing them on social media if at all possible.

Bright stated, “Additionally, we recognize that members of our community may choose to discuss and share their perspectives on social media platforms. While we understand that these platforms can serve as a space for open dialogue, we want to emphasize that the school district cannot respond to or address specific issues through social media. We kindly ask that you continue to use the designated reporting methods provided by the district to ensure that your concerns are properly documented and addressed. This approach allows us to maintain the privacy and well-being of our students and staff while promoting open communication and fostering a collaborative environment.”

Bright tells the Seguin Daily News that the district is not only working harder to address issues, but they are constantly working on providing even more resources toward finding solutions.

“What I am asking them to do is use the resources that we already have in place. Our website is a plethora of information. You can spend days upon days on the website. We just released the new website. It’s been about a year. We’ve still been making some improvements on it, and we are still working for improvements. We get feedback from the community of ‘hey, we’d like to see this’ but I think it’s really easy to navigate. You just have to spend some time on it and if there is something not on our webpage, we have fantastic staff at Central Office. Just call them. All the phone numbers for the different departments are listed on the website. Email addresses for all the board members are on the website. There’s so much information on our website. It just doesn’t get utilized as much as it should be.”

Bright, who personally addressed the public at the end of the meeting, added that trust and cooperation were essential in maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all students throughout the district.
