Equity across the district and public school funding were two issues tackled by candidates vying for a pair of Hays CISD trustee seats during a March 28 debate.
The event, hosted by the Hays Educators Association, Texas State Teachers Association, featured Michelle Cohen and Will McManus, who are running for a Hays CISD Trustee At-Large seat up for grabs on May 5. Joining them was incumbent Hays CISD District 3 trustee Bert Bronaugh and challenger Michael Sanchez.
Susan Gray, a candidate in the At-Large race, and Valerie Hopkins, a District 3 challenger, did not attend the debate. District 3 candidate Alejandro Correa announced earlier in the week he was not participating in the race. However, Hays CISD officials said Correa missed the deadline to withdraw and would still have his name on the ballot.
