As a fast-growth district, Leander ISD has been in a continual state of building for more than 20 years. The funding source differs from project to project. Most recently, in May 2023, LISD passed all three propositions of a bond election. Before that, a technology bond proposition passed in November 2021, and a general bond proposition passed in November 2017. Separately, some projects are funded through bond savings or through funds from the general fund.
The Board of Trustees receives monthly status updates of previous bond authorizations with funds remaining. The reports show original and current budgets. As projects are finalized, remaining funds are reallocated to project savings, which is a fund, subject to the Bond Oversight Committee’s recommendation for future use.
