40+ years is a long time to be anywhere. During his time at Leander ISD, Jimmy Disley wore many hats. From the purchasing agent to assistant director of finance to his final role as chief operating officer, Jimmy has been a staple in the LISD community. Superintendent Bruce Gearing, Ed.D., sat down with him back in November 2024 to listen to his story and how he has impacted so many lives across #1LISD.

When it comes to the idea of Empowered Learning – both for students and staff – this Level Up podcast series will look to bring to life real-world examples of this happening in #1LISD.
