Bryker Woods Elementary School is now facing the real threat of closure. Despite its exemplary academic performance and unique role as the district’s only International Baccalaureate certified elementary school, AISD has indicated that Bryker Woods is at risk of being consolidated.

This school is more than a place of learning. Families from across Austin seek to transfer their children to Bryker Woods because of its academic excellence, supportive community, and inclusive environment. It also serves as our neighborhood’s only true community gathering place.

Closing Bryker Woods would be an irreplaceable loss - for our students, families, and the wider Austin community. It would disrupt the lives of current and future children, weaken our neighborhood, and diminish AISD’s commitment to educational opportunity and equity. The future use or redevelopment of this school site is unknown, but what is certain is that its closure would cause lasting harm.

We, the undersigned parents, alumni, community members, and supporters, urge the Austin Independent School District to:

1. Keep Bryker Woods Elementary School open.
2. Recognize the historic significance of the school.
3. Protect it as a vital community hub for generations to come.

Bryker Woods Elementary represents the very best of Austin ISD. Closing it would be a mistake that our community cannot afford. Please join us in calling on AISD to keep Bryker Woods Elementary the best school in our town.
