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 to 2 Minutes
📅 November 18, 2026
The district’s standard practice limits public comment on non-agenda items to just two minutes per person, while also allowing the Board President to shorten speaking times further without notice. This policy makes it harder for parents and taxpayers to voice concerns on important issues not on the immediate agenda.
Response

DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK: Contact the Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘The 2-minute time limit for public comment on non-agenda items is an unacceptable restriction on free speech. I urge you to amend your policy to restore a reasonable time limit of at least 3-5 minutes for all speakers.’
