The Hays school board will discuss the Hays Middle School mascot at its meeting at 6:30 tonight at the Rockwell Administration Center.

The district is constructing a new high school and remodeling the current high school into a middle school as part of a $143.5 million school bond.

After a lengthy and contentious debate, the district decided to keep the Indians as its mascot for Hays High School.

During that discussion, some residents suggested the middle school should also have the Indians as its mascot.

The middle school's current mascot is the Falcons.

The board will also consider a Neighborhood Revitalization Resolution and adding two student support specialist positions.
