LISD named top school district in magazine

Expansion Management, a leading site location and facility magazine, evaluates secondary school districts nationwide each year in order to provide its 43,000 corporate subscribers with a valuable way of comparing the type of work force they are likely to encounter in various communities around the country. Expansion Management will award the district with either a gold medal or a blue ribbon for its achievement. A copy of the article can be found here.
