What board members said

  • Whatever time frame that can be developed, we can really try and figure out where we can find cost savings, um, because audit's really about efficiency. …Sade FashokunBoard member · Leander ISD Board of TrusteesWatch the full meeting from 1:32:10
  • Not just carpet and paint. Like, I want to know, like, what are we doing differently? Like, I can see the LHS master plan. …Anna SmithBoard member · Leander ISD Board of TrusteesWatch the full meeting from 50:53
