The Hays USD 489 school board heard some grim news about the district’s facilities at its Monday night work study session, which included a tour of Wilson Elementary School highlighting its space issues.

Rusty Lindsay, director of buildings and grounds, told the board members that several buildings are needing some large-cost improvements.

“I wanted to set the stage tonight that I’m going to have to switch course a little bit and start looking at some of those buildings,” he said. “I’m not sure where we’re at as far as a bond, but we’re running out of time and we’re going to have to move forward.
