Hays CISD hires new chief financial officer

A longtime member of Wimberley ISD’s executive leadership team has been tabbed as Hays CISD’s next chief financial officer (CFO), according to a press release.

Randall Rau, who had worked as Wimberley ISD’s CFO since 2009, was selected to succeed longtime Hays CISD CFO Annette Folmar, who recently accepted a position in Prosper ISD in the Dallas area. Rau was hired by virtue of a 7-0 Hays CISD board of trustee vote Monday.

Rau, who has close to 30 years of financial experience, had served as Wimberley ISD’s business manager from 2001 to 2007 before becoming the CFO in 2009. Prior to working at Wimberley, Rau had been director of accounting at the State Bar of Texas and had been a staff accountant for two private auditing firms.
