1. LISD officials begin process of selling six district properties
District officials designated six LISD properties as surplus properties and authorized their advertisement for sale.
The decision was discussed in closed session and unanimously approved.
“We must take this action of designating surplus properties first before we can begin exploring possibilities such as selling, leasing or developing these locations,” Board President Jenny Proznik said.
Proznik said board members will continue to discuss what to do with these properties at future meetings.
2. Lewisville ISD officials select architecture firm Huckabee for $10M worth of projects
The Lewisville ISD Board of Trustees approved a contract with Huckabee for various campus projects estimated to cost $10 million.
Per district documents, Huckabee will evaluate LISD’s needs and present recommended program and facility updates to the board with a final budget estimate in October.
Huckabee has worked with LISD on several previous projects, some of which are being evaluated for potential updates.
Recommendations for any construction delivery method other than construction manager at risk, along with contractor selections, will be presented to the board of trustees for approval in October, along with a guaranteed maximum price, according to district documents.
3. Trustees discussed the 2025-26 district improvement plan
In April 2023, the board approved the LISD’s long-range plan, which informs the district’s direction and goals. As part of this plan, board members vote each year to select specific priorities and set the district improvement plan.
LISD Chief of Staff Shawna Miller gave a presentation explaining how goals are selected for the district overall and each individual campus.
“It is a collaborative process that we use to develop our DIP and it’s ongoing,” Miller said. “We have a fall and spring check-in that we use to monitor our targets.”
Miller said district staff will present the 2025-26 district improvement plan to the board for action at a September meeting. Proznik said the board will look at the district’s long-range plan at an October meeting.
