Applications for the Leadership LISD Class of 2025 are now open for community members interested in learning more about Leander ISD directly from district leaders and through the hands-on participation offered in this nine-month program.

“We are inviting parents, community members, and local business partners to apply to become part of the Leadership LISD class of 2025,” Assistant Director of Community Relations Shannon Lombardo said. “This program offers a unique opportunity to meet and interact with district leaders and to learn more about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the incredible programs offered in our district.”

The Leadership LISD experience allows district parents and community members to gain in-depth knowledge about the various programs and departments in Leander ISD. Nine classes are held throughout the school year at different district locations – from transportation facilities to school campuses to the science materials center – with each class focused on a specific department or program. School finance and relevant legislative topics are also addressed throughout the year.

“The love and dedication of LISD and its employees to our students’ care and development are abundantly clear!” Leadership LISD Graduate Staci Mickler said. “I was blown away by the phenomenal facilities and wealth of opportunities available for our kids to explore their different interests!”

Leadership LISD graduates appreciated hearing directly from department leaders and staff, and many enjoyed their school visits during their “Principal for a Day” school and classroom visits at the end of the year.

“The highlight of Leadership LISD were the times we had the opportunity to interact with the students and visit different classrooms.” Leadership LISD David Starnes said. “The class learning about Human Resources and the Office of Educational Access was also a highlight.”

Leadership LISD classes will be held on Wednesdays once a month during the school year at various locations throughout the district. These classes are currently scheduled for Sept 11 – Oct 9 – Nov 13 – Dec 11 – Jan 8 – Feb 12 – Mar 12 – Apr 9 – May 14
