On Nov. 13, 2023, the SAISD Board of Trustees approved a resolution on Facilities Planning and Development. Part of the resolution directed the superintendent to convene a panel who would make recommendations on how to make best use of all the district's vacant facilities, including those closed as the result of consolidating staff and students into fewer buildings – a process the district calls rightsizing. The resolution also confirms the district’s commitment to ensuring the buildings continue to benefit and serve the community.

The facilities repurposing process will formally begin later this fall once the district has hired a consultant to manage the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Once the RFP process has opened, the panel will vet the proposal submissions and make recommendations to staff. At that time, the panel will convene additional public meetings, during which families and community members will be invited to provide input on the recommendations being considered for specific facilities.
