Beginning this week, the Hays Public Schools USD 489 will be completing a comprehensive phone survey of patrons on their opinions about their district.
The eight-minute phone survey will be placed between 7 and 9 p.m. on weekdays, and noon to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The caller ID may show “Market Research Associates” or it may simply show an 816 or 913 area code, because the company uses calling facilities in both Missouri and Kansas.
For those who are not contacted at random on the phone, an online version of the survey is available on the district’s website.
The phone survey process will take about two weeks to complete, and the district is asking patrons to listen for their phones to ring.
All responses will be kept completely confidential.


With the high likelihood that the city ordinance requiring the wearing of face masks could expire at the end of today due to low community positive Covid numbers over the last fourteen days. USD 489 wants to remind students, staff and parents that we will continue to follow the mask mandate for the state of KS and the requirement of the wearing of masks in all schools. We do not have a timetable for when masks will no longer be required in schools, but when that decision is made that information will be shared. A commitment to the health and safety protocols is still our highest priority, and we thank you for your understanding, patience and commitment to continuing these protocols that are still in place .
