Summary

The board packet includes a recommended resolution (per HB 3033) designating certain non-business days for PIA timelines in 2025; General Counsel Shawn Swisher presented a proposed schedule and recommends adoption.

Leander ISD's legal staff recommended the Board adopt a resolution designating certain non-business days for the purposes of the Texas Public Information Act (PIA) for calendar year 2025. Shawn Swisher, J.D., Leander ISD general counsel, noted that HB 3033 now requires boards to make an annual designation of non-business days — days when the district is closed but that are not weekends or statutorily recognized holidays.

Designating up to 10 non-business days helps the district align its response timelines for public information requests with district closures. The agenda packet presents administration's recommendation to adopt the resolution; the supplied transcript is the agenda text and does not record whether the board took action or the vote outcome.
