The safety and security of our students and staff is - and will continue to be - our highest priority.

Each year BCSD plans and executes several large-scale crisis simulations. Those events are made possible by partnerships with local and national law enforcement. The goal -- to give teachers and administrators hands-on training in the area of safety and security.

BCSD security and emergency management personnel work tirelessly to keep all campuses safe and are proud of the percentage of students who have shared they feel safe in our schools:

• 2012-22 - 90.7%

• 2022-23 - 91.8%

• 2023-24 - 93.3%
