A revised work session calendar was approved by USD 489 Hays school board members Monday night.
In August, board Vice President Marty Patterson suggested conducting work sessions in each of the district’s school buildings.
The board hopes the location changes will encourage district patrons to come talk to the school board members in a more familiar school environment, rather than at the Rockwell Administration Center.
Work sessions are not televised.
The Sept. 8 work session was held at Hays Middle School, with a tour of the building prior to the meeting.
The remaining work sessions are scheduled as follows:
- Oct. 20: Lincoln Elementary School gym
- Nov. 10: Wilson Elementary School media center
- Dec. 8: Roosevelt Elementary School library
- Jan. 12: Washington Elementary School gym
- Feb. 9: Hays High School library
- March 2: O’Loughlin Elementary School gym
- April 13: Munjor School gym
Other work sessions are scheduled in the Rockwell Administration Center on Sept. 29 and May 18 in conjunction with fall and spring graduation ceremonies at The Learning Center of Ellis County.
