Applications open for Lubbock ISD 2026-2027 Community Leadership Academy - KLBK | KAMC | EverythingLubbock.com

The program runs from October 2026 through April 2027, spread across seven meetings during the school year. It is open to district parents and adults in the Lubbock area, giving participants a chance to hear directly from district staff and get a closer look at how the school system operates.

For people who want a real seat at the table inside LISD, this is one of the few structured ways to get it. The commitment is manageable, and the program is free to apply for. Those accepted will be notified on September 23, just five days after the application window closes.

Lubbock ISD serves tens of thousands of students across the city, and programs like this one are among the only formal pipelines that let non-employees engage with district leadership on a recurring basis.
