Leander ISD

The driver of the bus, which was carrying 46 students, does not face any criminal charges, but has been cited for failure to drive in a single lane and improper use of a seat belt. Seventeen people were taken to the hospital after the crash.

Eighteen people were ultimately taken to local hospitals, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed. Leander ISD said Thursday evening that all of the injured had been released from the hospital.

Multiple high-growth school districts in Williamson County have bond propositions on the ballot.

Rising property values means the district must pay into the recapture system, which was intended to equalize school funding in the state.

Political action committees don't typically get involved in local school board races. But money and endorsements from local, state and national PACs ultimately helped determine the results of school board races in Round Rock and Leander.

One of the props will allow the district to pay into the state's recapture program, commonly known as “Robin Hood.”

An increase in the Central Texas school district's property values prompted the Leander ISD Board of Trustees to put the propositions on the ballot.

Students are forming banned-book clubs and distribution drives to contest restrictions that focus mostly on LGBTQ and racial themes.

The county commissioners previously delayed giving the funds to the school districts because of books they felt were inappropriate.

Commissioners voted to give $14 million in federal money to the other school districts, and said they would meet with RRISD and LISD leaders to discuss the issue.
