Hays CISD in need of more staff, considers employee incentives

As COVID-19 cases rise, Hays CISD struggles to find and retain employees.

The Board of Trustees will vote on a request to amend the 2021-2022 school year compensation plan and the hiring of additional teachers at Monday’s meeting.

“In terms of classroom teachers, we have a report of 14 vacancies,” Hays CISD HR Chief Fernando Medina said. “There is also a need for additional bilingual teachers. This week I approved two resignations [for other staff positions]. And we have three lunchroom monitor positions vacant and one vacancy for a crossing guard.”
