The Hays CISD school board empaneled a Growth Impact Committee for the purposes of assessing growth in the district and making a recommendation to the board regarding the need for a bond initiative in 2017. The committee consists of a mix of citizens appointed by the board (28 voting members) and individuals invited by administration (non-voting members), allowing a wide range of community involvement in the conversation about growth and a possible bond in 2017.
Growth Impact Committee members meet approximately seven times between October and early December. The specific meeting schedule will be determined by the committee itself. Committee members will hear presentations about district growth and needs from a variety of experts and will recommend to the board whether a bond initiative is needed in 2017 and, if so, which projects should be included in the bond. The committee recommendation will be presented to the board in December 2016. If the committee recommends a bond initiative and the board accepts the recommendation, the board will host public hearings on the matter in January.
The Growth Impact Committee will meet Nov. 3 at 6 p.m. in the Kunkel Room at the Buda Elementary Upper Campus, 300 San Marcos Street, Buda, Texas 78610.
