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.

Important Information
Food Program @ Mason
Mason has a food program for families! For interested families, weekend meal kits are sent home each Friday with students in bags the student can put in their backpacks. In addition, at-school snacks may also be provided. If you believe your student/family would benefit from the program, please fill out the form here. You can select weekend meal kits, snacks, or both. Please complete just one form for the family if you have multiple students at Mason, but please list all of their names on the form. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns! Amanda.King@leanderisd.org
