With a December deadline to make a bond recommendation to the Board of Trustees, the Hays CISD Growth Impact Committee (GIC) is working to finalize a potential list of projects within a proposed 2017 initiative.
The project list, according to the district’s website, is for discussion purposes only. No decision has been made on the list, which is subject to change. The GIC will meet on Thursday, Dec. 8, to work on the project list.
Tim Savoy, Hays CISD Public Information Officer, said the district’s maximum bond amount is $250 to $300 million, depending on how the sale of the bonds would be structured.
