Leander ISD officials announced Oct. 22 that Place 6 trustee Francesca Romans is resigning from her position on the board.
Per the announcement, the board will formally accept Romans' resignation at a special-called meeting Oct. 28.
The gist
Romans was first elected to the board in 2022, and throughout her tenure, represented the board with the Leander Educational Excellence Foundation, Districtwide Educational Improvement Council and as an Educational Access Ambassador.
Romans said in the announcement that she is having to step away from the role due to health reasons, but said she will continue her involvement in LISD as a parent and advocate.
“Being a public school board trustee is an immense responsibility, and this role has given me opportunities to advocate, to celebrate, to learn and to learn to do better," Romans said. "My deepest appreciation goes to the educators and staff who teach and care for our kids. You go above and beyond every single day, and I am so grateful to have learned from you. ... You have made me a better advocate, a better professional and especially a better mom."
What to expect
Per district officials, the board will either appoint a member to serve out the remainder of Romans' term through November 2026 or call a special election. The board will consider its options and take action at a future meeting in accordance with district policy.
