• Page title graphic: 2023 HAYS CISD ATTENDANCE ZONE MAPPING

    In May 2022, Hays CISD voters approved a bond measure that included the construction of the district's 16th elementary school. When it opens in August 2024, it will need an attendance zone. On July 24, 2023, the Hays CISD Board voted to empanel an Attendance Boundary Rezoning Committee comprised of 14 citizens for the limited purpose of advising and assisting the Board in the process of creating an attendance zone for the new school.

Board Adopted Map for 2024 - 2025 School Year

  • On Monday, October 23, 2023, the Board adopted committee recommendation Map G as presented below. This map takes effect for the 2024 - 2025 school year. 

    (Maps are created using small territorial areas called planning units. Planning units are then combined to make up attendance zones. Each planning unit is labeled with an identification number. The district's planning unit population chart shows how many elementary students are projected to live in each numbered planning unit. (View a zoomable district map of all elementary school planning units.)

    Map G (Committee Created)
    Moves significant territory west of Plum Creek to Elementary #16 (Planning Units 4, 132, 118, 129, 130, 117B)
    Moves unconstructed portion of North Plum Creek to Elementary #16 (Planning Units 113B, 112, 35)  
    Keeps existing Plum Creek at Negley Elementary (Planning Units 116A, 116B, 113A)  
    Keeps Mountain City at Negley Elementary (Planning Units 117A, 22)
    Moves small portion of existing Negley zone along I-35 (planning Unit 120) to Kyle Elementary

    Middle School and High School Zones Do Not Change with Map G
    All students in the current Negley attendance zone for 2023-2024, regardless of the 2024-2025 elementary school assignment in Map G, would remain in the Barton MS and Hays HS attendance zones.

    Map Recommendation Includes Grandfathering 4th Graders
    This map comes with a recommendation from the zoning committee to allow all current 4th graders who would be assigned to a new elementary school in 2024-2025, to have the choice to attend the new school or remain at Negley for their 5th grade year.  

    Current zones that would be affected: Negley Elementary, Kyle Elementary
    Map Status: Adopted by Board for 2024-2025 School Year
