The Leander ISD Board of Trustees voted to hire Magdalena Gistau to a one-year probationary contract as principal of Cedar Park Middle School for the 2025–26 school year. The board took the action in open session following a closed-session deliberation permitted by Texas Government Code §551.074 on personnel matters.
The motion to accept the recommendation to employ Magdalena Gistau was made and seconded in open session, the district announced, and the board president recorded “4 ayes” and declared the motion passed. The motion, as read into the record, directed that the employment be “in accordance with the salary scale, policies, and contract of Leander Independent School District for the 2025–26 school year.”
The board went into closed session at approximately 8:23 p.m. under Texas Government Code §551.074 to deliberate employment of the Cedar Park Middle School principal and returned to open session at about 9:01 p.m., at which point trustees moved and approved the recommendation. The board president noted the vote total and then adjourned the meeting.

The board president directed that any action related to closed-session items be taken in open session; the motion recorded in open session constitutes the formal approval of the hire.
