The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees is accepting nominations to rename the Mercer-Blumberg Learning Center portion of the district’s administration building.
Presently, two Seguin ISD facilities are named Mercer-Blumberg. One is the former campus facility in the administration building, located at 1221 E. Kingsbury St., while the current campus facility that serves students, located at 118 N. Bowie St., is officially named Mercer-Blumberg Learning Center at Saegert.
The Mercer-Blumberg Learning Center at the administration building is now meeting space, offices and storage. Officials are hoping the community will step forward to submit name suggestions for this facility.
Trustees unanimously approved to move forward with the nomination process during the Jan. 23 school board meeting.
Board Policy CW(LOCAL) outlines the timeline and criteria for stakeholders to submit written nominations.
Staff, students and the community may submit at nomination by Feb. 22, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. to sisd@seguin.k12.tx.us or via mail or in person at Seguin ISD Central Office, 1221 E. Kingsbury St., Seguin, TX 78155.
Nominations must be in writing and include a succinct description of the nominee’s contributions, why they are important, and any pertinent history that should be considered. No more than three pages of supporting documentation shall be included for each nomination. Petitions cannot be considered per board policy.
Trustees will consider all nominations that meet the following criteria prior to the deadline:
The school facility may be named for any person, living or deceased, provided that the name has a special significance or the person has made an outstanding contribution to the school or the district. Trustees will evaluate the person’s contribution in the field of education, extraordinary contributions to the civic life of the community, state or nation. Also considered are recommendations by an individual, family or organization who has donated property or funds for the construction of an educational facility in Seguin ISD.
Following the Feb. 22 deadline, trustees will review nominations for consideration and possible approval at a future school board meeting.
