📍 Drive to HAYS CISD Office   📅 Tuesday, November 17, 2026 to Calendar
📄 View Official Agenda
Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HAYS CISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
WARNING (LEVEL 7)
Public Comment Time Slashed for Non-Agenda Topics
📅 November 17, 2026
The district’s standard practice limits speakers on non-agenda items to just two minutes, and only ‘if time permits’ after all agenda-item speakers have finished. This policy can effectively silence parents and taxpayers who want to raise new concerns the board has not placed on its own agenda.
Response

DEMAND EQUAL TIME: Contact the Hays CISD Board of Trustees (verify contact details on the district website): ‘The public comment policy detailed in the backup for Item B is unacceptable. All taxpayers deserve equal time to speak, whether their issue is on the agenda or not. Restore a uniform speaking time for all members of the public.’
