Lewisville ISD

When Dr. Steve Waddell interviewed with the Lewisville Independent School District (LISD) Board of Trustees, he told the Board, “Don’t hire me unless you are ready to move this district to the next level.” They hired him, and they are moving! After visiting all sixty three campuses within the first six weeks of his tenure, Dr. Waddell decided to invite the community to help determine the direction of the district through a strategic design process. He called Shannon Buerk, Chief Learning Officer for Engage! Learning Organization, to plan and lead the process as an external facilitator. Shannon collaborated with the LISD leadership team to create a customized process for transforming the district. This process was aligned with the work of the Texas Visioning Network, with a goal to engage as many of the LISD community members as possible. . .[read more]
