SUBMITTED REPORT
Shaun Bosar of Kyle announced his candidacy for the Hays CISD at-large trustee position vacated by Mark Jones upon his election to the Hays County Commissioners Court.
Bosar, an operations manager for ChemWest Systems, brings a strong business background with the ability to quickly understand and articulate the process behind creating a strategy that fulfills an organizational vision, connecting the dots between tactical operation and strategic initiatives, recognizing future opportunities and trends that lead toward creating an enriching educational experience for our future’s leadership. Leveraging his business and organizational experience, Bosar would also bring strong governance and financial accountability to the board.
A husband, father, mentor, coach; Bosar is passionate in empowering youth to succeed. He is married to Carpenter Hill Elementary teacher Andi Bosar. Bosar has been an active supporter of his wife, her classroom and Hays CISD educational programs; being exposed to and understanding issues impacting parents, educators and students. Furthermore, Bosar has been an active volunter in a number of community youth-based organizations including ‘Buda Buddies’, a mentoring program to Buda Elementary students, Coaches for Student Ministries at Austin Stone and ‘Destination Imagination Manager’ at Carpenter Hill Elementary.
Adhering to a high level of integrity and ethics, Bosar’s leadership style is based on a simple principle that begins first with defining reality, ends with saying thank you and in between is a servant … A servant for the children … for the teachers … for the administration …for the community. Bosar further defines his 4 x 4 philosophy as serving:
For the Children: supporting and enabling the vision of Hays CISD to develop students, socially and academically, to be prepared for the 21st century.
For the Teachers: knowing those whom have the highest contact with the children are teachers. A School Board is responsible for empowering them to achieve the utmost success possible – equipping, supporting, and serving them; attracting and retaining the highest quality professional teachers possible.
For the Administration: ensuring the administration is enabled with the appropriate means to support the teachers and students with the best quality facilities, tools and resources.
For the Community: recognizes that we are entrusted by the community with the responsibility of insuring financial accountability and appropriate allocation of resources that align with the vision that supports the children, the teachers and the administration in developing our community’s future leaders.
In conclusion, Bosar strives to enable ‘Team Hays’ to be the best of the best in attracting the best teachers, developing the best students, and creating the highest quality and performance standards for Hays CISD.
