HCISD finds $13M payroll error

The discovery of a $13 million payroll “miscalculation” led  Hays CISD leaders Monday to table the reimbursement of nearly $100,000 in workers compensation premiums.

The miscalculation, which some district leaders said occurred under a past administration, was caught when Texas Mutual Insurance Company conducted an audit of the district’s payroll in late 2018.

Discussion about the error occurred at the April 15 meeting, a week before President Merideth Keller removed the item from the consent agenda at the April 22 meeting.
