The new school building will be an updated, two-story campus serving 650 students, according to DISD. The cost of the new building is expected to be around $30.9 million.

Peabody is one of three Southern Dallas elementary schools currently being replaced. In Oak Cliff, Lenore Kirk Hall Elementary is also expected to get a new building.

Mackey said the new school is slated to open to students by Fall 2024.
