The Hays CISD Board of Trustees passed the following agenda items at its May 26 business meeting:
Fair Market Equity Adjustment – The board approved an additional $1.5 million for a fair market equity adjustment for school counselors. This will address all pay grades, not necessarily all employees. This does not affect teachers, nurses or librarians. Motion carried 7-0.
