Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez announced today that he plans to stay in Seguin ISD.

“After much reflection, prayer and conversation with friends and family, I have come to realize that my best fit at this time is with Seguin ISD. Together we have accomplished so much and I am determined to see continued student and staff success in the future,” he said.

On Jan. 24, Dr. Gutierrez announced that he had accepted the superintendent position at the Madison Metropolitan School District in Madison, WI.

He provided the Madison school board a letter on March 31 that stated he was withdrawing his acceptance of the school district’s superintendent position.

Dr. Gutierrez has served as Seguin ISD Superintendent since July 2017 and is known for championing community and student engagement, creating a five-year strategic plan, and successfully passing a $64.7 million bond election in May 2019.

“It has been extremely rewarding to serve the Seguin community during the past two and a half years. The warmth, acceptance and support that I have experienced in Seguin is something that is very special and I do not take it for granted. At this point in my career, Seguin ISD will continue to be home,” he said.
