About the Austin
Chamber Education
Progress Report
The Education Progress Report,
now in its seventh year of publication, is developed and issued
annually by the Greater Austin
Chamber of Commerce’s Education
Progress Report Task Force. Eleven
Central Texas school districts and
their local Chambers of Commerce
and Economic Development Boards
participated this year. The report
focuses on high school graduation,
college and career readiness, and
college enrollment rates which are
closely tied to the workforce talent
and in turn, economic development
in the region. It also serves as a
tool for the community to track and
assess school district performance
trends. Additional indicators in the
report give a comprehensive view of
how the district is performing overall
and gives further insight to predicting success for a future cohort of
students leading up to high school.

A Letter t o the C o mm u n it y
Dear Hays CISD Community
We all want the best for our children.
In the nearly two decades since our Class of
2012 was born, Central Texas’ economy has
changed significantly. If we look into a crystal
ball, we only see change accelerating: more
information to process, more complex content,
constant collaboration...all on fewer resources.
One in eight Central Texas jobs are in high
tech: for example, medical devices, clean energy,
advanced manufacturing, mobile applications,
creative media, network or cloud computing. These jobs represent more than 25% of our
region’s payroll. Paradoxically, some of these
industries displace more traditional industries
or shrink costs, thereby reducing other types of
jobs. We embrace the future or technology will
leave us behind.
Business owners grow their companies here
in Central Texas because they can find quality
public education for their employees’ children,
quality talent, a vibrant culture, a supportive
environment for start-up companies and a lower
cost to do business. These same companies are
also courted by other cities, states and countries
with similar advantages, and
some with different, and
sometimes, better amenities.
The Austin Chamber
of Commerce, along with
regional Chambers and
economic development
corporations, are committed
to helping local companies
compete in national and
global markets and grow and
create jobs for our people. We
are also committed to helping
our young people prepare for
Twenty First Century jobs.
We also actively recruit
companies like Apple and
Hanger Orthopedic to move
and grow jobs here. Site
selectors, those who advise
Bill Stotesbery

2
companies on where to locate divisions, operations and headquarters, rank talent opportunities
based on:
• Bachelor, associate and certificate completers,
especially in STEM fields;
• High school graduate direct enrollment rates in
post-secondary education;
• High school graduate college and/or highperformance workplace readiness rates; and
• High school graduation rates.
This printed report focuses on the last three items. This summer, Central Texas School Trustees will
adopt FY13 budgets with per pupil cuts of up to
8.7% compared to two school years ago. Leaders
face a deepening challenge: build support for
those compensation and management strategies
which prepare an increasing percentage of
students for post-secondary education and the
high performance workplace while also providing
the academic, athletic, technical and fine arts
offerings of a well-rounded education. To send a clear message to the community,
district superintendents and Trustees should set
specific, aggressive goals, and justifying shifting
resources and stressing transparency and
accountability. In turn, the business community
should support their accomplishments.
In preparing this report, school districts
collaborated with their local business leadership,
celebrating progress and targeting areas which
need improvement. These districts have chosen
to make tough, bold decisions. The recommendations in this report are developed through
meaningful discussions with the Buda Economic
Development Corporation, Buda Area Chamber
of Commerce, Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce
and the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Our
hope is this report will spur further discussions
and actions within your community to help Hays
CISD in areas in need of improvement and in
their efforts to educate our future workforce.

ABOUT HAYS CISD
PROGRESS OVERVIEW
Hays Consolidated Independent School District is
a growing school system located in north Central
Hays County, with 23 campuses located in the Kyle
and Buda communities. The district, where student
enrollment has increased by about 30 percent in
the past several years, spans more than 221 square
miles and draws more than 15,000 students.
Hays CISD offers a dual-language magnet
program that instructs students in English and
Spanish at two elementary schools; a STEM
magnet program (STEM stands for science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) for
4th- and 5th-grade students at two elementary
schools, Advanced Placement courses and the
STEM-focused Project Lead the Way designation
at the secondary campuses.
Both Lehman and Hays high schools offer a
rigorous core curriculum, athletic programs and
award-winning music and theater programs,
which are accompanied by a state-of-the-art
Performing Arts Center. Lehman High School
features a mariachi band and health science,
culinary arts and Navy JROTC programs. Hays
High School features a nationally renowned
debate team, a state award winning band program
and a Marine JROTC program.
District leaders, in an effort to boost Hays
CISD’s graduation and direct-to-college enrollment
rates, provide flexible learning hours for students
who are behind, as well as courses that result
in high school and college credit through a
strengthened partnership with Austin Community
College. These efforts, along with Project Hope,
a coordinated effort for dropout prevention, have
brought about increases in the Hays CISD graduation rate. Recognizing the impact of good health
and nutrition on the well being of all members
of the school community, Hays CISD has made
fitness and nutrition a priority for both students
and staff by instituting the Superintendent’s
Fitness Challenge for district employees and by
making salad bars available in school cafeterias.
Partnerships with area businesses, including
the Chambers of Commerce and Economic
Development Corporations in Kyle and Buda,
encourage students to become life-long learners
and extraordinary citizens. The Chambers have
lent support to various district events and sit on
campus leadership teams and the district’s education foundation, among other organizations.
The Central Texas economy depends in part
on whether large percentages of high school
graduates are ready for, enroll directly in and
complete higher education. Hays CISD have
about half of its student population on free
and reduced meals and nearly one-sixth are
learning English as a second language.
One of the most challenging issues faced
by a majority of Hays CISD families is access to
personal transportation. Administrators in the
district set up a task force to address this issue.
Another major initiative of Superintendent Lyon is
to introduce more health and wellness programs
in the district as this also affects
student achievement.
Hays CISD is among the fastest-growing
school districts in Texas. Its enrollment has
doubled to 15,300. Two-thirds of Hays CISD
students are Hispanic. Rapid growth in students
with Hispanic background has increased the
district’s need for Hispanic business mentors with
Spanish speaking ability. The annual Dia De Los
Muertos Mariachi Extravaganza also serves to
celebrate the culture of this growing community.
Through conservative budgeting in FY12
the district does not expect any cuts in the
next fiscal year. Hays CISD was one of the few
districts last year to set over 60 specific goals
covering various subjects, grades and student
groups that are measured in this report. The
district either met or exceeded about 26
percent of those goals.
In February, the U.S. Department of Justice
approved changes in Hays CISD School Board
single-member district boundaries and necessary polling location adjustments. Every ten
years, following the national Census, the school
district is required to re-balance the School
Board single-member district populations so
that they are each roughly about the same size.
These changes will affect the May 2012
School Board election. Some residents will be
in new single-member districts. Additionally,
the Buda City Hall is no longer an early voting
or election day location since the city has
moved its elections to November. The new
voting location on election day for residents
in single-member district 3 is Chapa Middle
School. All voters can still cast ballots during
the early voting period at the Hays CISD Central
Office and Kyle City Hall.

District 3 incumbent Bert Bronaugh Jr. will
be facing Robert Limon at the May 12, 2012
election. Doug Ragsdale, Eric John and Holly
Smith Raymond have all signed up to run for
the at-large position currently held by Patti
Wood, who is not seeking another term.
Task Force
Recommends That
Hays CISD
Continues To:
Evaluate
existing strategies to
increase the percentage of college- and
career-ready graduates and enhance those
strategies in an effort to accelerate gains.
Adopt
a plan which will include
direct-to-college enrollment.
Support
existing strategies for
increasing the percentage of students
who graduate high school in four years
and enhance the strategies in an effort to
accelerate gains.
Create
a summary of and publicize
the district’s annual graduation, direct-tocollege and college-and-career readiness
performance goals, as well as on-going efforts
for continued improvement in those areas.
Direct
sufficient resources to further
improve graduation, direct-to-college and
college-and-career readiness efforts.
Set
as their goal that 80 percent of
the district’s English Language Learners will
pass the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and
Skills or make adequate progress on the Texas
English Language Proficiency Assessment, a
goal that far exceeds the state requirement for
“recognized” status.
Look
to innovative compensation
approaches, including strategic compensation,
as a way to help accelerate performance gains
in graduation, direct-to-college enrollment,
and college and career readiness.

that students who enroll directly in
college after high school are more
likely to complete their studies. Hays
CISD did largely shield programmatic
efforts to improve direct-to-college
enrollment in the tough budget
environment and now needs to look
at approaches to accelerate progress.

All Students
Students are considered ready for success for higher education
or the high-performance workplace if they meet or
exceed the performance standards below, which are based on state college readiness indicators. Students who do
not meet these standards must take remedial classes, if they enroll in Texas public colleges or universities.
49%
of students in the Class of 2010
were college-and career-ready
in both English language arts
and math, an increase of 6%
compared to the previous year.
The steady increases can be
attributed to early intervention by
district staff and administrators
in identifying and helping students recognize the importance
of these tests as early as 10th
grade through Preliminary SAT
tests administered thoughout the
district as well as new curriculum
implementation.

WHO GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN FOUR YEARS?
High school graduation is achieved when a student earns a high school diploma and passes exit tests – English language arts,
math, science and social studies – within four years of first entering the ninth grade. GED recipients and students who need
longer are not counted as graduates under this definition. The definition of a drop-out changed in the 2005-2006 school year.
As such, the 2006-2009 rates are not directly comparable to each other because not all data used to prepare the graduation
rates for each of those years were prepared under a uniform methodology. However, data released for the Class of 2010 will be
comparable to data for the Class of 2009.

of students in the Class of
2010 graduated from high
school within four years, a
3% increase compared to the
prior year. Hays CISD had
anticipated a rise in graduation
rates due to implementation
of a new curriculum and the
increase in 2010 is a positive
sign. Though Hispanic and
Economically Disadvantaged
students continue to lag
behind White students, the
district’s concerted effort
through Project Hope aims
to improve the district’s high
school completion rate through
dropout prevention efforts.

HOW WELL CAN THEY WRITE?
69%
of all high school juniors
demonstrated college level
readiness in writing, an increase
of 11%, compared to the previous year. This can be attributed
to a focus on writing and an
increase in writing workshops
within English Language Arts
classes in Hays CISD.
The chart below shows the percentage of high school juniors who scored a zero, one, two, three or four on the
written composition component of the graduation English language arts TAKS. A student passes with a score of
two or higher and demonstrates college/career readiness in writing with a score of three or higher.

HOW MANY 5TH GRADERS WERE READY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL?
95%
of fifth-graders in 2011 were
academically prepared for meeting the panel recommended
standard for reading.
Note: Dramatic increases
and decreases seen throughout
this report for the African
American student group can
be attributed to their small
number as they account for
less than 4% of the total
student population.
This measure displays the percentage of fifth-graders who met or exceeded the TAKS performance standards
set by a State Board of Education-appointed panel, thus the “Panel Recommended” standard. These students
are deemed prepared for middle school-level course work.
