The district is now accepting proposals from potential buyers of the Brooke facility.

For more information, please review the Brooke Facility RFP.

Overview

The former Brooke Elementary School, located at 3100 E. 4th Street in East Austin, is a 52,282-square-foot facility constructed in 1954 on a 5.38-acre site. The school closed at the end of the 2019–2020 school year and students were reassigned to Govalle Elementary (for students living north of the Colorado River) and Linder Elementary (for students south of the river). In April 2025, the Austin ISD Board of Trustees formally declared the site as surplus.

Like many school districts across the country, Austin ISD is facing significant budget challenges. The sale of the Brooke site is one of several necessary steps essential to avoiding deeper disruptions to our teachers, schools, and programs. While the decision to sell has been made, we remain committed to transparency and are offering opportunities for community members to share their perspectives.
