Leander ISD Superintendent Dan Troxell, Ph.D., will stay on with the district through July 31 before leaving to become deputy executive director of the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).

โ€œI want to thank you for the last three years, itโ€™s been absolutely incredible,โ€ Troxell said. โ€œThis is a truly phenomenal place to be, and itโ€™s a place that is cherished in my heart. With sincere and heartfelt gratitude, thank you for the last three years and I look forward to helping with the transition (to a new superintendent) in the next couple of months.โ€

โ€œWe appreciate you recognizing the challenges that come with changing leaders,โ€ Board President Aaron Johnson said. โ€œWe appreciate the leadership you provided to the district and look forward to opportunities to express that appreciation.โ€

Trustees hope to have the new superintendent in place before the start of the new school year. LISD expects to follow a process and timeline similar to the 2016 selection process:

  • collect community feedback;
  • synthesize feedback to create an ideal candidate profile;
  • interview candidates and select a finalist; and
  • welcome a new superintendent.

Leander ISD will update the Superintendent webpage throughout the process and share updates on social media. Community feedback is expected to be solicited via focus groups and a community survey.
