Dear Leander ISD families,
Our hearts remain with the Bagdad Elementary School students, the driver, and this community as they continue to recover from yesterday’s bus accident.
We are thankful to share that everyone involved has now been released from the hospital.
We know it will take time for our community to process this trauma, and we want you to know Leander ISD will continue to be here for every student and staff member in need of support. Additional counselors and social workers were present at Bagdad today, and they will remain available for as long as needed.
Student safety is our top priority. As the Texas Department of Public Safety investigates the cause of the crash, we are reviewing our bus safety protocols and making sure all of our procedures were followed. We will share more as those details become available.
We are grateful to the first responders and staff who responded to the scene, as well as the outpouring of support from our #1LISD community.
Sincerely,
Bruce Gearing, Ed.D.
Leander ISD Superintendent
