Hays CISD voters will decide whether or not a $250 million bond spread across two propositions will move forward May 6. By a unanimous 7-0 vote, the Hays CISD board of trustees approved ballot language for an election order to place the bond on the ballot. Voters will decide on two new elementary schools and one new high school campus within Proposition 1, which totals just over $189 milllion. Proposition 2 will harbor roughly $61 million that will go toward Career and Technology Education (CTE) facility upgrades and a baseball and softball complex at Hays High. On Feb. 6, the board capped the bond at $250 million, which was a $15 million reduction from a recommendation from the district’s growth impact committee.
