Hays CISD belongs to its taxpayers, parents, and voters. District leadership and the Board of Trustees value rich dialogue on all topics, particularly those that involve major decisions. To foster community and parent involvement in the decision-making process, the district hosts a number of special-purpose committees. This page lists some of the opportunities for you to get involved.  

Facilities & Bond Oversight Committee (FBOC)

[Standing Committee/28 Citizens Appointed by Board]
The purpose of the FBOC is to help ensure the original intent of a bond package is implemented on time, with quality, with transparency, and within budget.

District Leadership Team (DLT)

[Standing Committee/Teachers, Parents, Business Leaders, Community Members]
This is an established site-based decision-making committee at the district level to advise the superintendent on educational goals and objectives. Contact the coordinator on the linked page to learn more about membership on this committee. 

Campus Leadership Teams (CLT)

Board and Superintendent Student Advisory Panel

[Standing Committee/Students Selected by their High School Campuses]
The Board & Superintendent Student Advisory Panel was created in 2017 to expand opportunities for student voice to be included in major district decisions.

The purpose of the SHAC is to assist the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the district’s coordinated school health related policies, procedures, strategies, and curriculum.

Special Purpose Committees
