At a TASB-facilitated workshop, the Leander ISD Board of Trustees translated shared learning into concrete next steps for governance and oversight.

Trustees worked through a draft PLC implementation guide and identified four categories for board action: establishing a PLC foundation, building a collaborative culture, cultivating an information-and-research culture, and aligning resources and commitments. At each category trustees were asked to mark candidate "key actions" to adopt, adjust or abandon; facilitators collected those responses for later drafting. Trustees emphasized that the board’s role is oversight—focused on measurable goals and alignment with the district’s guaranteed and viable curriculum—rather than operational execution.

The board also discussed what they need from the acting superintendent and what the superintendent needs from the board. Trustees requested clear priorities and schedules for the data they expect to use in oversight; administrators asked trustees to give staff an opportunity to resolve constituent issues through the district’s channels before elevating them to the board. The acting superintendent (speaking during the session) said closing the loop on issues and re-norming culture around those channels would be a priority during the transition period.

Finally the trustees informally confirmed committee representation for audit, board evaluation/superintendent evaluation, policy review, legislative priorities, and school safety; LEAF requested an additional board liaison and trustees agreed to confirm one (discussion and volunteers recorded but not formalized by roll-call vote in the transcript). Next steps from the workshop include administration returning a prioritized set of "big rocks" for board focus and the PLC guiding coalition drafting a formal board implementation guide for future approval.
