The Leander ISD Board of Trustees officially hired Chris Clark, Ed.D., as superintendent during its April 2 meeting, following the state-required 21-day waiting period after naming him lone finalist in March.
Clark has served as acting superintendent since December 2025, helping lead the district through a period of transition while continuing the work underway across Leander ISD’s 49 schools serving more than 42,000 students.
Prior to serving as acting superintendent, Clark was deputy superintendent of learning and innovation and previously assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction. He brings more than 30 years of experience in public education, including more than two decades in leadership roles at both the campus and district levels.
The Board’s action follows a superintendent search process that included opportunities for community input, including a districtwide survey that helped inform the leadership profile for the district’s next superintendent.
Additional background on the search process and Clark’s experience is available in the lone finalist announcement.
Clark assumes the role of superintendent effective immediately.
