Welcome to Leander ISD! It’s different here! Thank you for choosing a career in education and for making your professional home

with us.

You have a critically important part to play in maintaining our learning-centered culture

as we continue to be a fast-growing district. As an LISD employee, your contribution is

essential in order for our students to exit our system with the same passion for learning

they had when they entered, without economics determining success. We want

students to leave LISD with every option open to them.

Our guiding documents set our course in order to make this vision a reality:

The Learning Model shapes our educational processes.

The 10 Ethical Principles remind us of how we should treat each other.

The Four Focused Areas of Improvement lay out the district’s general

direction.

The Graduate Profile prescribes our desired outcomes in terms of

student achievement.

The Leander Way focuses on how we operate.

As an LISD employee, you are a valued member of a learning family who truly believes

we have the power to change the world — one student at a time.

Thank you for joining us on this journey! If we can be of service to you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Start the School Year off with Safety…

Every year Leander ISD has employees who suffer compensable injuries. Most of these injuries

could have been prevented. You play a major role in preventing injuries to yourself and to others

around you. Always pay attention to what you are doing. Avoid trying to save time by using the

"quick fixes" to get the job done; most of the time it’s the “quick fixes” that lead to accidents and

injuries.

Watch for unsafe conditions and unsafe procedures that need to be reported to your Supervisor or to Safety in Risk Management, Darla Humes at 512-570-0911.

If you should have an Accident….

Workers’ Compensation pays medical bills and lost wages for employees who a compensable injury or occupational disease. LISD has chosen to self-insure our Workers’ Compensation program. This simply means that the District, not an insurance company, is responsible for every dollar spent on work – related injuries. The money comes directly out of the District’s funds.

How to report an incident or Accident…

Tell your supervisor or nurse as soon as possible. All paperwork should be completed before seeking medical attention, unless it is an emergency. Late reporting could result in lost benefits. Report all incidents even if they cause only minor aches and pains because if the pain becomes worse and medical attention is needed later, your claim and your benefits will be protected.

Complete an “Employee’s First Notice of Injury or Occupational Disease” form, which you can get on the L-Net or from your campus Nurse or Admin Assistant.

If the accident results in Injury….

Obtain an “Authorization for Medical Attention” and an “Authorization for Prescriptions” forms from your campus Nurse or Admin Assistant. These forms are intended to expedite services and they contain all of the billing information that the doctor and pharmacist will need.

To ensure quick, quality medical services, LISD has arranged with WC Provider Network Alliance, to include US Healthworks, Care Now and Concentra Medical Centers to accept our Workers’ Compensation claims. Clinics have the facilities to handle occupational injuries. Do not file it with your group health insurance; this will cause a delay in handling your claim.

If the doctor gives you work restrictions, please contact your supervisor; you will receive additional information.

If you have any questions, please call:
