The Hays USD 489 Facility Needs Committee is scheduled to present a formal recommendation at the Board of Education meeting Monday evening.
At the Sept. 8 work session, Superintendent Dean Katt said the presentation is scheduled for 30 minutes, and architects involved in the long-term proposal to update facilities within USD 489 are scheduled to be at the meeting to answer questions.
Monday’s agenda also includes an update on the new Walking School Bus program started this this month at O’Loughlin Elementary School. Principal Nancy Harmon and Walking School Bus Coordinator Terri Tramel will discuss implementation of the program in which supervisors meet students at a local park and walk to school together.
USD 489’s Curriculum Director Shanna Dinkel and Hays High School Principal Marty Straub also are scheduled to present statistics on the ACT and provide local, state and national information regarding the college readiness test.
A complete agenda can be found on the USD 489 website here.
The meeting is set for Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rockwell Administration Center.
