History
{{expand section|date=January 2017}}
In 2016 Seguin ISD attempted to buy the radio station KWED, owned by Guadalupe Media. The radio station acts as the publisher for the Seguin Daily News. The board of trustees approved a deal in which the district would have paid Guadalupe Media $400,000,{{cite news|author=Reagan, Mark|url=http://www.sacurrent.com/the-daily/archives/2016/08/24/seguin-isds-attempt-to-buy-radio-station-that-criticized-district-fails|title=Seguin ISD's Attempt to Buy Radio Station That Criticized District Fails |newspaper=San Antonio Current|date=2016-08-24|accessdate=2017-01-11}} to lease the station, with an option to buy it after the payment period of five years ($75,000 per year).{{cite web|author=Arias, Pilar|url=http://www.ksat.com/news/seguin-isd-considers-leasing-local-newspaper-radio-station|title=Seguin ISD considers leasing local newspaper, radio station|publisher=KSAT-TV|date=2016-08-18|accessdate=2017-01-11}} The district would have decided which employees would remain at the station. The payments would have been in increments over a five-year period. By August of that year Guadalupe Media backed out of the deal. The radio station had previously aired criticism against the school district. Eliana Reihl, a candidate for a school board position, stated her belief that the district was motivated to silence criticism. Some other critics argued that the radio station was losing money and that the district would have to pay additional money to keep the station afloat.
