HCISD partners with E3 Alliance for School Attendance Research Study
Hays CISD has joined with E3 Alliance on a research study that aims to better understand student absences. Information will be gathered at four Hays CISD schools, Lehman High School, Chapa Middle School, Kyle Elementary and Fuentes Elementary, over a two month period. All information collected is confidential. District officials are asking parents to partner with them in this research study designed to identify resources and services that may be needed in local communities within Hays CISD. Questions may be directed to Elsa Hinojosa, Hays CISD, at (512) 268-2141 or Amy Wiseman, E3 Alliance, at (512) 223-7249.
Let the search begin
The Hays CISD Board of Trustees met earlier this week to interview executive search firms to help find a replacement for Jeremy Lyon, former superintendent. Lyon left in early January to head up the Frisco ISD near Dallas. Four firms submitted proposals in response to a request for proposals distributed by the board in late December. Three firms made the cut to be interviewed. The search and candidate interview process is expected to take several months.
