Leander ISD is celebrating the tireless efforts of our custodians from October 7-11 during Custodian Appreciation Week. 

“I would like to thank our entire custodial team for all the hard work that is done daily,” Craig Task, LISD director of custodial services, said.  “We had a busy summer with new schools opening and with all the construction going on within the district. Everyone worked together to accomplish a huge goal. We want you all to know that we appreciate every one of you every day.”
