A future Seguin ISD school site was solidified on Jan. 17, 2024 as closing documents were signed for an 81.24 acre property on Ilka Rd.

The purchase is funded thanks to voters who approved a $2 million measure in the 2022 bond election for land for a future middle school.

Due to the property's size, shape and topography, it lends itself to also serve as the ideal location for the district's proposed agriculture science facility, also approved in the 2022 bond initiative.

“The location, egress and access to city utilities make the Ilka Rd. site favorable to address future growth in the district, namely a third middle school. Plus, it allows us to begin drafting plans to construct a first for Seguin ISD: an agriculture science facility complete with pens, shade structure and feed storage so that all students have the opportunity to participate in the ag sciences,” said Dr. Veronica Vijil, Seguin ISD interim superintendent.

The property, located at 1329 Ilka Rd., cost $1,949,760.00 and was purchased from a private seller.

The $9 million agriculture science facility was also approved by Seguin ISD voters in the 2022 bond election.
