Speak Up for Steiner was formed by parents and community members committed to protecting the quality of public education in our neighborhood schools. As Leander ISD pushes forward with plans that threaten to close campuses in the southern part of the district, we are standing up — together — to demand transparency, accountability, and a long-term vision that values community engagement and equity across all zip codes.
We believe that no one should have to fight to keep their neighborhood school open. And yet, here we are — united to do just that.
We are parents, educators, taxpayers, and students who are tired of backroom decisions and broken promises. We’re here to organize, inform, and advocate — not just for Steiner Ranch, but for every community being overlooked by the current long-range planning process.
To protect and preserve neighborhood schools in Leander ISD by demanding community-driven planning, fiscal accountability, and fair representation in district decision-making. We fight for long-term solutions that strengthen — not shutter — schools and empower families to have a voice in shaping the future of public education.
