Hays CISD voters to decide on bond in May

by Moses Leos III

Voters within Hays CISD boundaries will cast their ballots this May as they decide on the district’s upcoming May 2017 bond election that could include a third high school.

Tim Savoy, Hays CISD public information officer, said the district’s proposed bond capacity for its May referendum is projected between $200 and $250 million.

Hays CISD, however, won’t go out for the full $250 million, as district officials didn’t want to place their ad valorem tax rate at the max level, Savoy said.

“Now that we’re 23 hundreths of a penny below the max …we didn’t want to be at the cap for the bond,” Savoy said.

What could potentially go into the district’s bond referendum has not yet been decided

One recommendation from the district is a third high school, which Savoy said is projected to cost $100 million.

at this time. In September, the Hays CISD board of trustees will create a Growth Impact Committee, which would review and rank items and projects that could go into the bond.

“The committee will look at the needs of the district,” Savoy said. “They will also talk with other neighbors and look at any input they have for people who were interested in it.”

The committee will meet six or more times during the school year to discuss what should go into the bond, Savoy said. All meetings will be open to the public.

Savoy said Hays CISD administrators have their own

wish list for the committee to choose from.

One recommendation from the district is a third high school, which Savoy said is projected to cost $100 million.

Savoy said the school district took a “backwards” approach toward the new high school, as administrators and the public combined to select a location prior to its placement on the bond.

Hays CISD’s potential third high school could be located along FM 967 near Carpenter Hill Elementary, if approved by voters.

Savoy said the reasoning was to get a head start on the preliminary design process,

while also ensuring voters knew where the school was before they hit the polls. If voters approve the high school, construction would begin in 2017, with the campus opening in 2019.

“At the end of the day, to support a bond with a high school in it, it’s better if voters know where the high school is going to be,” Savoy said.

Savoy said Hays and Lehman high schools are currently experiencing overcrowding issues.

Both Hays and Lehman were beyond functional capacity, which is 2,250 students, in 2015-2016.

According to district enrollment projections, both schools are projected to have a combined 5,888 students by 2018-2019, with over 7,300 high school students by 2024.

“Growth is a good problem to have. We’re exciting we’re

growing,” Savoy said. “That does come with growing pains … but it’s much better to have that than where you’re not growing and figuring what to do with empty buildings.”

Other recommendations for the bond could include “expanding the capacity of the elementary schools,” Savoy said.

That could mean building one or two new elementary schools or adding on to existing campuses to increase capacity.

Savoy said there could be discussion on potentially adding a new middle school into the bond. Projects that didn’t make the cut in the 2014 referendum could also make their way back this year.

One project is replacing the roof at the Buda Elementary lower campus, which would have been $1 to $2 million, while another could be possibly buying more school buses for growth to expand the fleet.

Buda’s first baby doctor School’s namesake birthed nearly 1,800 babies

by Jen Biundo reprinted from 2006

Y

ou can’t help thinking that someone should make a movie out of Doc McCormick’s life, a story replete with all the comedy, tragedy and drama that comprised the life of the country doctor in the middle of the last century.

And don’t forget the babies, all 1,600 to 1,800 of’em.

This week, sitting in his Buda home with his wife Jerry, Doc McCormick flipped through a thick stack of birth certificate first drafts from 1956, smiling with recollection. McCormick pointed to the card on the top of the stack - Luanne Brewing-ton, the last baby born in that year.

“She’s named Luanne Caraway now, and she’s our county tax assessor,” McCormick said. “Her little brother was a 3.5 pound premie. We had an incubator that he stayed in for two or three months.” McCormick has a nearencyclopedic memory of every family in the area, and all the children that made up his Buda legacy. From 1946 to 1959, McCormick delivered nearly every baby born in the Buda-Kyle area, birthing a slew of newTenorios, Montagues, Garzas and Alcalas.

Dr. Thaddeus Charles McCormick, affectionately known as T.C. or plain Doc, came to Buda with his wife Jerry and two young children in 1946 and prepared to take over the Main Street medical practice of the retiring doctor, Clay Lauderdale.

At that time, Buda was a small farming community with a population of about 450, where ranchers and dairymen would gather at sunrise at Molly’s Cafe to talk shop about their grain and cotton farming, milk delivery and livestock.

McCormick and the other returning servicemen who rolled into Buda after World War II represented an infusion of fresh blood and new ways of thinking into the community, shaking up the status quo.

When McCormick took over, there were two waiting rooms one for the white patients and another for the black patients.

With little fanfare, McCormick integrated his hospital and refitted the segregated waiting room into a laboratory.

“I had the personal pleasure of meeting a number of black people, some of whom said, ‘You’re the doctor from Buda who integrated the hospital,’” he said.

The new doctor was a handsome young man with a thick shock of wavy dark hair and a head full of new-fangled ideas, fresh out the army and just 27 years old. Too young, some townspeople thought, to capably serve as the only physician between Austin and San Marcos, handling obstetrics, geriatrics and everything in between. The naysayers were quickly proved wrong.

Old Dr. Lauderdale had only overseen home deliveries. Within six months, the new doctor had created a “lying-in” room with delivery tables in the hospital.

“I would have patients come in and we would take care of them there in a much more...”

McCormick paused and smiled slightly,”... medically acceptable manner. A number of ladies in Buda with nursing experience would then come in and stay with the new mother and baby, overnight if necessary, with most going home within 24 hours after delivery.”

The full service, from pre-natal to post-natal care, cost about $150. Before long, McCormick was delivering between 125 and 150 babies a year. In between the deliveries, McCormick saw 60 to 70 patients a day, and did house calls in the undeveloped swath of ranchland and farmland surrounding the town at a travel fee of $1 per mile.

In the late 1940s, McCormick purchased an army hospital officers’ ward, which he transported through Elgin and Austin, and placed on a lot at the corner of Ash and San Marcos streets, under the name of Buda Hospital.

McCormick saw his first

patients in the new clinic in early 1948 - two women from Manchaca who gave birth within 24 hours of each other.

But the old hospital building he inherited wasn’t hooked up to a water supply.

“Mr. B.Watson, who owned the feed mill here, brought over two or three or more milk cans filled with water,” McCormick said. “You have to have hot water to deliver a baby.”

The most serious injuries were transported to an Austin hospital, but McCormick had plenty of other ailments to keep him occupied.

Early in McCormick’s tenure, a U.S. serviceman, his wife and their 2-year-old child had been living in Japan and just completed the long journey home to Buda.

During the trip, the child came down with a nasty case of sinusitis and accompanying high fever, but in an odd twist, only one nostril was infected. He was given penicillin, which cleared up the fever, but he was sick again within the week. Doc McCormick peered up the infected nostril, pulled out his forceps and got hold of the offending intruder.

“It was the eraser off a #2 pencil,” McCormick recalled.

“Poor little kid had it all the way from Japan to Buda.”

In a similar case, a middleaged man came into the hospital, complaining of discomfort in his ears.

“He tells me he’s been deaf in that ear for years,” McCormick said. “I got out my instruments and pulled out a snail shell. He said ‘I put that in my ear when I was a little boy and was afraid to tell my momma.’”

Then there were the midcentury disease outbreaks that hit Buda: the polio epidemic of 1953-54 that killed a young soldier home on leave in Kyle, the endemic typhus that hit workers at the feed mill, and the relapsing fever, a tick-born spirochete disease similar to lime disease and to syphilis, that McCormick successfully treated with the old syphilis cocktail of arsenic and mercury.

In the late 1940s, McCormick purchased an army hospital officers’ ward, which he transported through Elgin and Austin, and placed on a lot at the corner of Ash and San Marcos streets, under the name of Buda Hospital. The old hospital has since been converted into residential apartments.

“Things were changing very much in the practice of medicine over those years,” McCormick said.

When McCormick went to the University of Texas in the 1940s, pre-med students studied either French or German. But many of McCormick’s patients were Hispanic - either Buda-area locals or poor migrant workers who quietly passed through the area - and the new doctor gave himself a crash course in the Spanish language.

“I had one Hispanic patient who pointed at her stomach and said, ‘No tengo hambre,’” McCormick said. “I thought she was saying, ‘No tengo hombre.’

We had to pull a woman out of the waiting room to translate.”

Many of the migrant workers came in to deliver their babies, often without the benefit of prenatal care. In the early 1950s, McCormick delivered a healthy baby boy to one such migrant couple - who promptly stole away in the middle of the night,

leaving their baby in the hands of someone they hoped could care for him.

Within a couple of years, “Little Joe” was a fixture in the hospital, riding his tricycle through the back halls.

“We just kept taking care of him,” McCormick said. “A lot of people wanted to adopt him.”

But to everyone’s sadness, the couple returned to reclaim their abandoned child.

In 1959, McCormick ran into an old psychology professor, who convinced McCormick to move back to his original field of neuropsychology. After a three-year stint in Galveston, McCormick moved his family back to Buda and set up a clinic in Austin.

He has since retired, but found time along the way to serve as mayor of Buda and as a trustee on the Buda School Board, where he helped with the desegregation push. In 1975, the former country doctor was elected Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.

Meet the principals ...

Hays CISD welcomes five new heads to the district

P

arents and students at four existing and one new Hays CISD campus will all welcome a new principal into their fold.

Hays CISD’s new crop of principals boast over 50 years of combined experience. Two of the new hires hail from Austin ISD, while two were promoted from within the district.

The fifth principal, who was originally hired by the district in 2015, will take the helm at McCormick Middle School, which held it’s inaugural ribbon cutting August 12.

Note: Principals with an asterisk (*) by their name have been named interim principals until such time as the Board of Trustees is able to meet in August to vote on their formal contracts. The Hays CISD Board approves principal contracts.

Superintendent Michael McKie has recommended these individuals to assume the full-time roles as principals of these campuses.

Sean Fox

Debbie Brown

Thad Gittens

Sean Fox has a track record in education as a transformational leader, a principal who empowers teachers, and a person who engages parents and the community.

He most recently served as the principal of Zavala Elementary in Austin ISD. Under his leadership, the campus has risen from the tenth percentile to the 74th percentile, in comparison to all elementary schools in Texas, on state standardized test scores, earning all five distinctions from the Texas Education Agency in 2015. His success prompted much positive media attention and a congratulatory visit from Governor Greg Abbott.

“My goal as your principal is to provide the leadership and support necessary to ensure we are able to provide the most effective and engaging classroom instruction meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of every student at Blanco Vista,” Fox said. “You will get to know me as both a visionary leader, as well as someone who is not afraid to roll up my sleeves and work hard alongside you.”

Fox holds a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Educational Administration, both from the University of Texas at Austin. He has been a resident and parent in Hays CISD for more than 10 years.

Debbie Brown has enjoyed a successful, award winning career in education for more than 20 years. She began in 1996 as a 5th grade teacher in Spring Branch ISD, but has most recently been serving as the assistant principal of Carpenter Hill Elementary School. During her educational career, she has served in a number of roles, both as a teacher and campus leader. She has been part of the Hays CISD family since the year 2000 and plans to continue the tradition of excellence at Carpenter Hill.

“As your principal my goal will be to motivate, inspire and challenge each and every member of our school community to continuously grow in learning and to challenge complacency,” Brown said.

“Building relationships with students, teachers, parents and the community is the heart of my job; therefore, I am committed to listening and learning as I lead Carpenter Hill. I am committed to working collaboratively to ensure the success of each student.”

Brown holds a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Baylor University and a Master of Education from the University of North Texas.

Thad Gittens has been employed by Hays CISD since 2015. He was hired to coordinate the opening of McCormick Middle School. He has 20 years of experience in education, both as a teacher and in numerous campus and district leadership roles. At McCormick, Gittens is creating a unique and engaging learning environment. The instructional delivery model at McCormick is cutting edge and custom fit for the 21st century. During the past year, Gittens has been monitoring the final stages of building construction, learning the district, hiring teachers and staff, and preparing to open the district’s sixth middle school.

“We are staffing the campus with educators who are ready to take on the challenge and are working to prepare themselves to facilitate learning for our learners,” said Gittens in a letter to parents.

“They will engage in professional learning activities that will help them incorporate ‘non-traditional’ instructional methods that will emphasize skills that learners will need to thrive in post-secondary education and in their careers. We will not be able to accomplish that, however, without our parents’ support and active engagement in the development of this environment.”

Gittens holds a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Oberlin College in Ohio and a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Texas Southern University in Houston. In 2011, he was named the Spring ISD Secondary Principal of the Year.

Forging new paths with CTE programs

abriella Ortegon opened the door to her biomedical class at Hays High School and saw a crime scene strewn all over the room. Over the next few weeks, the class used the fake scene to work towards certifications in the Career Technical and Engineering program.

The program allows high school students to obtain career-focused certifications while working on a

diploma. The courses provide real life experience and training to fully operate in their chosen field, whether it is welding or cosmetology.

“It was exciting for me because it was such a hands on class and that’s something I benefit from,” Ortegon, Hays High sophomore, said.

Within three years the program has jumped from 11 certifications to 1,916, CTE director Suzie Mitchell said.
