Leander ISD

The Board of Trustees reviewed special education services, staffing options at the new transportation facility and attendance zoning scenarios for the 2020–21 school year at its May 16 meeting. In addition, Trustees approved the resignation timeline of Superintendent Dan Troxell, Ph.D.

Leander ISD Superintendent Dan Troxell, Ph.D., will stay on with the district through July 31 before leaving to become deputy executive director of the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).

Trustees established a timeline for its Superintendent search to replace Dan Troxell, Ph.D., with the direction to have a new Leander ISD leader before the start of the 2019-2020 school year.

As Leander ISD continues to work toward a districtwide attendance zoning plan for the opening of Danielson Middle School in 2020–21, the Board of Trustees asked administration to review Scenario B with a few modifications resulting in Scenario E, which is now posted.

In its meeting Thursday night, the Board approved Thompson and Horton as the search firm, which will start a community engagement process for collecting feedback to guide its vetting of qualified candidates.

The change in fiscal year will allow for more money on hand to support teachers at the beginning of school.
