San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) has initiated a call for proposals from community-based partners to repurpose its closed campuses. The district aims to transform these vacant school properties into productive assets beneficial to the community.

SAISD is seeking innovative ideas that align with community needs while also serving the district’s objectives. This initiative is a response to the closure of several facilities following a decline in student enrollment.

The deadline for submitting proposals has been set for October 17, 2025. Organizations interested in participating can find more information on the Bonfire procurement portal.

The district’s intention is to ensure that the repurposing of these campuses contributes positively to the surrounding communities. By inviting community-based partners, SAISD hopes to cultivate diverse and beneficial uses for the properties.

These efforts form part of a larger rightsizing strategy adopted by SAISD to optimize the use of its facilities in line with current enrollment figures. The strategy includes identifying alternative uses for buildings and campuses that are no longer needed for educational purposes.

The process for submitting proposals is designed to be straightforward, with detailed guidelines available on the Bonfire portal. This approach is expected to encourage a wide range of proposals, reflecting varied community needs and innovative solutions.

SAISD has emphasized the importance of these proposals in ensuring that the closed campuses do not remain underutilized. Instead, the district seeks to convert them into spaces that benefit the local community, whether through new educational programs, community services, or other initiatives.

The call for proposals comes at a time when many educational institutions are reassessing the use of their physical spaces due to changing population dynamics and educational methodologies.

SAISD’s initiative represents a forward-thinking approach to managing its resources and supporting the community. It reflects a broader trend towards adaptive reuse of educational facilities, a practice gaining popularity across various districts facing similar challenges.

The district is committed to an inclusive process, encouraging participation from a wide range of community organizations. This inclusive approach aims to ensure that the repurposed campuses meet diverse community needs and foster local development.

SAISD has been proactive in communicating the timeline and requirements for the proposal submission process. The district’s website and the Bonfire portal provide comprehensive information to guide potential proposers in preparing their submissions.

In addition to repurposing its closed campuses, SAISD continues to focus on enhancing educational outcomes across its active schools. The district is implementing several initiatives aimed at improving student achievement and adapting to the changing educational landscape.

The outcome of this proposal process will likely influence future strategies for facility management within SAISD. The district is keenly aware of the need to maintain flexibility in its use of resources to adapt to evolving educational and community needs.
