Leander ISD board accepts superintendent's resignation, appoints Chris Clark as acting superintendent
Summary
The Leander ISD Board approved a voluntary resignation agreement with Superintendent Bruce Gehring and immediately appointed Chris Clark as acting superintendent; the votes followed a closed‑session discussion and a 6–1 board vote on the acting‑superintendent appointment.
The Leander Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a voluntary resignation agreement with Superintendent Bruce Gehring and named Chris Clark acting superintendent effective immediately.
The board returned from a closed session at 9:49 p.m., and Trustee Laura moved to approve the "voluntary resignation agreement between the district and Superintendent Bruce Gehring as prepared and negotiated by the parties and their respective legal counsel," a motion that was seconded and passed with seven ayes. After procedural announcements, Laura moved again to "appoint Chris Clark as acting superintendent of schools effective immediately with all authority and responsibilities of the office," a motion that passed by a 6–1 vote.
Board members made no additional public statements during the motions. The board president said any action related to closed‑session items would be taken in open session, and trustees confirmed there was no additional discussion before each vote.
The administration did not provide further details in the open session about the terms of the resignation agreement beyond approving it as negotiated. The board stated that any paperwork required to effectuate the appointment would be executed by the board president.
No community action or next steps were announced at the meeting beyond the immediate appointment and authorization for the president to execute related documents.
