Seguin, Navarro ISD to take stand against draining of area lakes during pair of special school board meetings By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Next week's plans by GBRA to begin the draining of area lakes has at least two school districts taking some action. Both the Seguin and Navarro Independent School districts will consider approving a resolution in opposition to the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority's decision to dry out the lakes on Monday, Sept. 16. The Navarro ISD Board of Trustees will meet tonight to decide on a resolution in "regard to the GBRA decision to drain Lake McQueeney." The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees will follow on Wednesday with its own efforts and resolution "urging the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority to reconsider its decision to lower all lakes at this time."

as well as their own thoughts about the financial impact that the dewatering of the lakes could potentially have on their respective school districts. In that video, Superintendent Gutierrez says he believes there's going to be a huge economic impact with the potential for a significant decline in property values. "You could see fewer kids coming into our school buildings which means less funding coming in but the big impact on kids is the programming that we have worked so hard to put in place for the last, at least since I've been here -- for the last two years, and programming that has been in place prior to me coming possibly being eliminated which directly impacts kids in the classroom," said Gutierrez. Carter says the uncertainty of the future affects its long-range planning and says any dip in property values will no doubt have an impact on the district's five year projections.
