Leander ISD board trustees discussed the possibility of a 2026 bond Feb. 19 that could fund the next phase of modernization projects at Leander High School. The discussion provided context for LISD's Citizens' Facility Advisory Committee, which would develop the bond proposal, Chief Operations Officer Jeremy Trimble said.  According to Trimble, the standard modernization cycle of a facility is 20 years, but given current circumstances, that cycle is about 25 years.  Ten facilities opened in LISD between 2000 and 2005, with another nine facilities opening in the five years after that.  "Twenty-five years later, all of these facilities are entering that modernization window simultaneously," Trimble said. "So we have a bubble working through our system, and eventually it could burst if we do not address some of these needs." view article arw
