District officials said former superintendent Bruce Gearing will hold a \u201csuperintendent emeritus\u201d role for the remainder of the school year, in which he will be retired from day-to-day responsibilities but remain in an advisory capacity.<\/p>\n

How we got here<\/p>\n

Gearing announced<\/a> his intention to retire at the end of the 2025-26 school year on Dec. 8 after serving the district for six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis district and this community have changed my life,\u201d Gearing said in the announcement<\/a>. \u201cI have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary dedication of our staff, the brilliance of our students, and the passionate engagement of our families. It has been an honor to serve Leander ISD, and I look forward to this next chapter with deep gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/p>\n
