At this meeting: 

The committee voted 11 out of 11 members in attendance to recommend Map Plan C for the Board’s consideration, along with the caveats that: (1) affected students entering 5^th grade be grandfathered an allowed to stay at their current schools should they choose to do so and (2) remaining affected students be given first priority for transfers to remain at their existing campuses if they do not wish to attend school at their new campus. The second public forum was held embedded in the Board meeting on November 15, 2021.

The committee developed Map C Plan to address member considerations that differentiate Map C from the policy-required starter maps presented by administration (Maps A & B). Map C succeeds by: • Limiting the number of students that have to be moved • Allowing additional space at Elementary #15 for potential growth faster than expected • Allowing Elementary #15 (as a new prototype school floor plan) to open with a smaller population to work out the best building movement and traffic patterns, and troubleshoot any other issues that may arise prior to it hosting a full student body • Arresting the projected population explosion at both Tom Green and Camino Real Elementary Schools.

This public forum regarding the progress of the committee is in-person at the Tom Green Elementary School Cafeteria.

Attendees are provided printed copies of Plans A, B, & C, as well as the detailed process schedule, a 10-year population projection chart (without adding Elementary 15), and a chart highlight rezoning policy and Map C considerations.

Dear Tom Green and Camino Real Elementary School Families,

The Hays CISD Elementary School Attendance Boundary Committee is working on an attendance zone for the new school under construction in the Sunfield subdivision. The school will open in August 2022, and the new map will take effect at that time. Currently, the draft maps under consideration could affect one or both of the current Tom Green and Camino Real attendance zones.

This Thursday, the committee will hold a public forum about the proposed maps. It will be at 5:30 p.m. in the Tom Green Elementary School Cafeteria. If you are interested in this process or would like to speak at the forum, please plan to join us. Also, you can view the maps, follow the process, or leave comments for the committee online at: www.hayscisd.net/rezone.

Sincerely,
Tim Savoy
Chief Communication Officer
