Counselors granted mid-year pay jump

After battling for seven months, Hays CISD school counselors received a 1.5 percent mid-year pay increase Monday, a salary adjustment they argued should have been in place since the beginning of the school year.

“While we can’t change the past, we can change the future,” Hays High School Counselor Bonnie Bosarg told the school board during public comment. “Please consider adopting the pay scale presented to you … it is fair and it is equitable.”
