The Leander Extended Opportunity Center (LEO) is Leander Independent School District's disciplinary alternative education school. LEO serves all grade levels of students who must be removed from their home campuses due to discipline issues outlined in the Texas Education Code and the Leander ISD Student Code of Conduct. The campus is designed to help students maintain or achieve academic success while away from their home campus. LEO provides a safe and structured learning environment that encourages students to take ownership of their learning and focus on academic achievements. Through this process, students are supported in developing or refining their abilities to self-advocate, manage challenges, and achieve personal successes. Highly qualified, certified teachers deliver instruction from both the students’ home campuses and the Leander Extended Opportunity Center.Â
The Leander Extended Opportunity Center (LEO) has been serving the students and families of Leander ISD since the 1985-86 school year. Initially, the school operated out of several portables on the Leander Middle School campus, with only five staff members. In the fall of 1997, the school moved into the district's original elementary school building. In December 2000, a fire caused significant damage to one side of the building, but the school continued to operate while repairs were made. The entire building was completely renovated, and the school reopened in 2004. Next year, the LEO School will celebrate its 40th anniversary of service to the community.
