Collaborative Grants

col·lab·o·ra·tive – produced or conducted by two or more parties working together.

Collaborative grants are designed to provide resources for programs and projects that make a district- or campus-wide impact. All applications must “collaborate” with two or more educators across a grade level, department, entire campuses, an academic department or feeder pattern with the goal to improve the educational experience or opportunities for Leander ISD students and/or staff. Funding is available up to $5,000. Funding will not be provided for a past program or conference.

Book Request

Leander ISD staff, PTA organizations, and local community groups are welcome to request free children’s books to distribute to LISD students and families. The LEEF team will make every effort to fulfill your book needs and will approve requests on a case-by-case basis based on our current book supply.

The books are gently, used donated books, therefore LEEF is unable to provide specific titles.

Please submit your request by completing our book request form below at least 30 business days prior to the date on which the books are needed. If you require your books sooner you’ll have to make arrangements with LEEF to pick them up, LISD facilities requires a minimum of 2 weeks to deliver.

Do you know a community member or business who wants to host a book drive? Encourage them to click the button below for more information.
