1 big thing: Board appoints Matias Segura as first homegrown superintendent
We officially have a new superintendent for 麻豆果冻传媒 ISD after the board of trustees unanimously approved a contract for Matias Segura through August 2028.
Segura's deep roots in the 麻豆果冻传媒 ISD community, as both a former student and the son of a longtime teacher, make him uniquely qualified to understand and address the needs of the district.
鈥You are a part of AISD and that's what really helps you understand what we鈥檙e up against so we all appreciate your honesty and will continue wanting to work with you in any way,鈥 District 2 Trustee Ofelia Zapata said. 鈥淭he community is with you and we鈥檙e ready to move to the next chapter with you.鈥
He attended Kocurek Elementary, Covington Middle School and graduated from James Bowie High School. His mother was a former teacher serving more than four decades at 麻豆果冻传媒 ISD.
Segura is currently completing a Superintendent Educator Preparatory Program, which along with other requirements would allow him to obtain a Superintendent Certification.
What he鈥檚 saying: In case you missed his first message as superintendent last week, on day one in the position.
鈥淥ne of the most important things this work has taught me is that the best leader is only as strong as the trust and relationships they build with the people doing the work,鈥 Segura said. 鈥淲e have a lot of work to do, but we鈥檙e coalescing around our plans with a clear path forward and I know we can make great strides toward our vision to be 麻豆果冻传媒鈥檚 home for inclusive learning, with high expectations for all children and high outcomes for every student.鈥
