No Cost Meals Beginning September 28, 2020

We are happy to announce that the district has been awarded a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) block grant that will allow Hays CISD to provide breakfast and lunch to all students, districtwide, at no cost to the students or their families. Starting Monday, September 28, 2020, all in-person meals (breakfast and lunch) served on a Hays CISD campus will be free to students who are 18-years-old and under. Additionally, the district will continue its curbside grab-and-go meals service at select campuses at no cost to students or families. We anticipate that the block grant will allow the district to offer no cost meal service to students through the end of December. Please click headline for more information and to view the flyer!

Hays CISD Celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month

Hays CISD is proud to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month! Hispanic Heritage Month recognizes and celebrates the contributions Americans tracing their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South American and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean have made to American society and culture. The observance was born in 1968 when Congress authorized the president to issue an annual proclamation designating National Hispanic Heritage Week. Just two decades later, lawmakers expanded it to a monthlong celebration, stretching from September 15 to October 15.

The committee is currently seeking nominations from the following categories for 2020-2021: three parents (one from each high school feeder pattern), two business members, and two community members (community members are residents that do not have children enrolled in Hays CISD schools).

Board Sends Letter to State Officials Regarding COVID-19

Our teachers and campus staff are the heart of our community. Our teachers, staff and administrators would like nothing more than to welcome every one of our over 21,000 students back to school; but when staff, many of whom have children in the District, are afraid to come back for in-person instruction due to an increase in the number of positive COVID cases, we have a problem that needs to be addressed. As conditions worsen and doubling rates increase, how can we honestly justify putting educators and their students in peril. At some point, when this health crisis levels off, it may be safe to bring everyone back into the classroom, but, as it stands right now, local school districts need the flexibility to make decisions based on a measured response to local conditions and data. As educators, we know that one size does not fit all.
