Local Alert

📅 Tuesday, October 6, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HAYS CISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Public Comment Time Limited for Non-Agenda Topics

📅 October 6, 2026

The district’s ‘standard practice’ gives speakers on non-agenda items less time (2 minutes) than those speaking on agenda items (3 minutes). Furthermore, these speakers are only heard ‘if time permits,’ potentially silencing community concerns not on the board’s pre-approved list.

Response

Contact the Hays CISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding the Public Forum rules in Item B, all members of the public deserve equal time to speak. Please revise your standard practice to grant all speakers equal time and ensure non-agenda speakers are always heard.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Access
