Words from Our President
Dear Community Members and Donors:
Education is very important to me, and I am delighted to serve as president of the recently organized Leakey ISD Education Foundation. Serving with me are other dedicated and committed individuals in the community who have been working tirelessly since January 2019 to structure the Foundation and to plan educational programs that are in alignment with the District’s Strategic Plan.
Planning is important to the success of any organization, and the Foundation Board has drafted and adopted its first Five-Year Plan to share its commitment and vision for financially supporting education in the Leakey ISD. The Foundation is a new organization in our community, and we sincerely believe we have outlined a plan that will help us achieve our goal of making Leakey ISD one of the best school districts in the State of Texas.
The information included in this plan clearly depicts the need for the Foundation and the need for funds for various educational initiatives that will impact our youth and our future. Education requires the support and involvement of everyone in the community, and we are counting on your support to Strengthen, Enhance and Enrich Education in Leakey ISD.
Sincerely,
Charlie Reagor | Foundation President
Words from Our Superintendent
Dear Partners in Education,
The Leakey Independent School District has worked closely with the Leakey ISD Education Foundation to develop this Five-Year Plan which focuses heavily on investment in human capital. I believe the resulting blueprint has successfully aligned Foundation funding priorities with District initiatives in ways that will provide the greatest educational benefits to our students.
Funds from the Foundation will be used to supplement the District’s budget and will prioritize high-quality teacher recruitment and retention by allowing the District to offer more competitive compensation packages. Funds will be used to provide professional development grants and instructional enhancement grants.
We are excited about the benefits that the Foundation will bring to our school and community. By working together, we have successfully developed a strategy that will allow us to accomplish our vision for the future – to be the best small school district in Texas!
Sincerely,
Chris Yeschke | Superintendent
