Vacant Bealls in La Grange Will Become Regional Training Center

The old Bealls building at 215 Ellinger Rd, which has been vacant for two years has been sold and will become a training center for Education Service Center Region 13, which serves as a liaison between the Texas Education Agency and the local school districts. Region 13 encompasses 57 school districts, 24 charter schools, eight institutions of higher education, and 17 private schools. “We are excited to expand out to LG with a distance campus to offer educator training, student course offerings and even rentable space for the community,” said Rich Elsasser, Executive Director of Region 13.
