Leander ISD celebrated Veterans Day last week by welcoming America’s heroes to events, performances and learning engagements. It is important for our students to learn about the sacrifices our nation’s veterans have made to serve this country.
These men and women served to safeguard the freedoms we cherish, one of which is the right to cast a vote to direct our public entities, including LISD.

Single-family sales in the Four Points area year-over-year and year-to-date have decreased 8.5 percent. The median price has increased from $492,500 to $525,250, according to data in the Austin Board of Realtors September 2017 Central Texas Housing Market Report.
