Summary

A water-main break on April 27 led to early release at Wiley Middle School and a 35-minute shortfall in instructional time; administration requested board approval to submit a TEA Missed School Day waiver for health and safety reasons.

Leander ISD administration notified the board that a water-main break on April 27, 2026 caused unsanitary conditions that forced early release at approximately 11:00 a.m. for Wiley Middle School (and affected Rouse High School). The packet states Wiley Middle School fell 35 instructional minutes short for that day and staff requested approval to submit a Texas Education Agency Missed School Day waiver citing health/safety reasons.

The waiver application deadline for the 2025–26 school year is July 31, 2026; administration asked trustees to authorize submission of the waiver for Wiley Middle School so the missed minutes could be excused under TEA guidance. The packet does not record a board vote; it provides the recommended sample motion for approval to submit the waiver application.
