UNDERSTANDING THE LEANDER ISD Bond 2023
The Leander ISD Board of Trustees has scheduled a bond election for Saturday, May 6. Early voting is from April 24 to May 2.
The proposed bond — which is divided into three propositions totaling $762.82 million — includes:
projects to address student and staff safety at every LISD campus
two new elementary schools in fast-growing areas
repairs and updates at several campuses
a new facility for the LISD Special Education 18+ Transition Services Center
replacement of music instruments
renovations at the district's two Performing Arts Centers
and more.
The bond would not impact the LISD tax rate.
You can learn much more about the bond by watching this video and by visiting www.leanderisd.org/bond2023. Also, look for posters displayed on campus describing how the bond would affect the specific schools serving your area of the district.
