Bedichek Building Repurposing

The Austin ISD Board of Trustees voted in November 2025 to close the Bedichek School campus as part of the district's school consolidation process. 

The Bedichek building has been identified as a land banked property, meaning it is being retained by the district for future educational or district use.

The land associated with the campus has been evaluated through the district's Surplus Property Process, and in June 2026, the Board of Trustees approved a long-term ground lease as the future use for the land.

Future Use of the Building 

The Bedichek building will be repurposed to support a variety of educational and district uses, including:

• Districtwide professional learning and training spaces
• Office space for the Special Education Department
• Space for community partners that support students and families
• Expanded 18+ programming for underserved families in South Austin

Repurposing the building in this way allows Austin ISD to maximize the use of an existing facility while continuing to invest in services that benefit students, staff, and the broader community.
