Overview
- The board voted 5-2 to close Faubion Elementary beginning in the 2026–27 school year.
- The closure is projected to save about $800,000 against a $12.8 million deficit, alongside roughly $2 million in previously approved staffing cuts next school year.
- Faubion students will be reassigned to Westside Elementary, with teachers and staff redeployed to Westside or other district campuses.
- Leander ISD will explore repurposing the Faubion campus, including a potential expansion of New Hope High School.
- Steiner Ranch Elementary will remain open for now, with trustees directing a broader low-enrollment plan that could bring the campus back for consideration before 2027–28.
