Leander ISD packet seeks approval to hire Gibson Consulting for governance audit
Summary
The Board Audit Committee requested authorization to engage Gibson Consulting Group to perform a Governance Audit (Aug–Nov 2026) that would assess Board practices, policy compliance, and decision‑making; Gibson estimates the audit at $115,000 and the total FY2027 engagement at $165,000.
Leander ISD administration included a proposal asking the Board Audit Committee to approve Gibson Consulting Group to conduct a Governance Audit designed to evaluate Board governance practices, roles and decision‑making, policy currency, and statutory compliance. The packet names Chris Clark, Ed.D., Superintendent, as the administrator responsible for the agenda item and frames the work as timely given four of seven Board seats are up for election in November 2026.
The Gibson proposal describes a governance review that would rely on individual interviews with Board members and senior leaders, analysis of performance and meeting data, and review of policies and administrative regulations. The firm estimates the Governance Audit at $115,000 and outlines a four‑month timeline from August through November 2026. The proposal also notes that the audit will validate public meeting notice requirements and compliance with open‑records and open‑meetings laws. Gibson Consulting Group wrote in the packet, "Gibson Consulting Group (Gibson) is pleased to present this cost proposal to provide internal audit services to the Leander Independent School District (Leander ISD or LISD) Board of Trustees during Fiscal Year (FY) 2027."
