The North Hays County Steering Committee is a registered Political Action Committee; tax ID #27-1175067, that consists of many business and political leaders in North Hays County. This Committee was formed to support the initiative to be annexed into the Austin Community College District.

There are many advantages to the Hays CISD being part of the ACC District:

• Upon Passage of the annexation ACC has committed to buying 100 acres of land and building a campus here.
• Tuition rates for in district students is $39 a credit hour versus $137 a credit hour
  outside the district.
• ACC provides high-quality, affordable education that helps citizens find better jobs,
  earn higher wages and contribute more to the local tax base.
• The Texas Comptroller’s Office reports that every dollar invested in higher education returns $5.50 to the local economy.
• A well-educated workforce reduces the need for social services, which shrinks
  the overall tax burden.
• Career training opportunities in advance technology, applied technology, healthcare, multimedia, public service and business.
• Customized training, such as management skills, technical and leadership training, tailored to meet the needs of businesses and organizations.
• Entry level job training programs that can be completed in a year or less.
• An Associate’s Degree brings in $510,000 more in lifetime income than a
  high school diploma.
• General education courses at ACC transfer to any Texas public college or university.
• ACC students who transferred to UT Austin in the Fall of 2006 earned a GPA of 3.6.
• The ACC nursing program has one of the highest passing rates in the state (97%).
• ACC provides STUDENT LIFE PROGRAMS engaging students in clubs, events and organizations.

In order to get ACC to call the election we need 2,000 petition signatures by April 2010. This does not reflect if you are for or against this
initiative only that you support the community being able to vote on this decision. We need your help. If you would like more information or would like to help
by volunteering please contact us. Thank you very much!
