Not much is changing for Hays CISD as district leaders approved the 2018-2019 calendar and bell schedule.
The 2018 school year starts Aug. 27 and ends on June 5, 2019. Hays CISD graduation is set for for June 7, 2019.
According to a Survey Feedback Summary that ran from Feb. 2 through Feb. 9, “151 people specifically said they want the school year to end before June 1st.”
Although an early summer would be nice, a larger number surveyed, 232 people, “specifically said they support keeping an entire week off at Thanksgiving.”
The only changes to the 2018-2019 bell schedule will be the middle arnd high schools ending 5 minutes earlier.
Students must have 75,600 minutes of instruction as a state minimum and teachers must work a 187-day contract. The elementary schools have 77,000 minutes scheduled, the middle schools have 78,560 minutes scheduled and the high schools have 76,735 minutes scheduled.
