Leander ISD

Leander ISD is one of 373 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being honored by the College Board with placement on the 9th Annual AP ® District Honor Roll.

During School Resource Officer Appreciation Week, Dec. 3-7, Leander ISD would like to say “thank you” to the School Resources Officers (SROs) who help with the district’s top priority: the safety and security of our students and staff.

The Board of Trustees welcomed new members, considered the process for the development of the upcoming academic calendar and reviewed submissions for the naming of its newest schools at its Nov. 29 meeting.

Recently elected trustees Elexis Grimes and Gloria Gonzales-Dholakia took office as the newest LISD board members. Gonzales-Dholakia and Grimes replace two longtime trustees who did not seek re-election, Don Hisle and Will Streit.

The Board of Trustees discussed naming for Elementary School 27 and Middle School 9 at its Nov.20 meeting, reviewing options in three categories: geographical, historical or national figure, or a local contributor to Leander ISD.

The development of next year’s academic calendar is underway, with a proposal to the Board due January 2019. LISD staff will also consider creating a working draft of the 2020-2021 academic calendar for community planning purposes.
