Update: Congratulations to Rich Sena for winning his race for Boerne ISD board position 7.

Rich Sena's Commitment to Education and Financial Excellence

As the Boerne ISD Place 7 election day draws near, Rich Sena, the current Board Vice President and a trustee since 2014, seeks to reassure voters of his steadfast dedication to the district. Under his leadership, Boerne ISD has consistently achieved an 'A' accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for six consecutive years and maintained a Superior rating from the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) annually throughout his tenure. These accolades reflect the district's balanced budgets, maintained fund balances, and a notable reduction in administrative overhead by $1.5 million in the latest budget cycle.

Sena's role extends beyond financial oversight. As the chair of the district's Legislative Advocacy Committee, he has passionately advocated for teachers, contributing to the successful passage of a state-funded teacher retention allotment. His efforts have resulted in a significant increase in starting pay for Boerne ISD teachers, from $43,000 to $60,000, underscoring his commitment to the teaching community.

Strategic Growth and Future Priorities

Boerne ISD, one of the fastest-growing districts in the Texas Hill Country, presents unique challenges and opportunities. Sena emphasizes the importance of data-driven planning, collaborating with a professional demographer for annual enrollment projections. This approach ensures informed decision-making regarding facilities, curriculum, and capital needs. Additionally, Sena envisions expanding Career and Technical Education offerings and investing in leadership training and professional development for staff as key priorities for his next term.

"Continuous improvement is the standard," Sena asserts, highlighting his dedication to maintaining the district's progress. His strategic vision aims to equip Boerne ISD to meet future challenges without compromising the quality of education.

A Personal Connection to Boerne ISD

Rich Sena's personal journey is deeply intertwined with Boerne ISD. As a first-generation American whose parents immigrated from Italy, Sena appreciates the value of quality education. Both of his children are Boerne ISD alumni, with his daughter now serving as a fourth-grade teacher and his son working in sales. This personal connection fuels Sena's passion for ensuring that future generations receive the same educational opportunities his children enjoyed.

Sena's commitment to Boerne ISD is not just professional but profoundly personal. He reflects, "Every decision I make as a trustee comes back to one question: are we giving the next generation of Boerne kids the same shot mine got? That is the job."

As voters head to the polls on May 2, 2026, Rich Sena's track record and vision for the future stand as compelling reasons for his continued service.
