🐴 This week on Beyond the Bell, we’re meeting Lauren Burnett, the new principal at Hebron Middle! Lauren has more than 20 years in education, loves showing Saddlebred horses, and had a blast meeting Hebron’s teachers over the summer. We can’t wait to see all the great things ahead with her leading the Panthers! 🐾

As a result, all Bullitt County Public Schools will be closed today, August 19. This is not an NTI day. At this time, we do not have a timetable for when service will be restored, but we will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as quickly as possible.
High school students who were already in transit this morning are being returned home by bus.
We recognize the disruption this causes for families, and we are deeply grateful for your flexibility and patience as we work through this challenge. Please continue to check district communication channels for the latest information.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students and staff.

✨Important Update on Traceable Communication (SB 181)💻
To ensure the safety and security of our students, we're sharing important information about a new Kentucky law, Senate Bill 181 (SB 181).
This law changes how our BCPS employees and volunteers can communicate electronically with students. We are implementing these new statewide standards to create a safer and more secure learning environment.
To stay fully informed on how this new law will be applied, please download our official BCPS app. It is our primary channel for direct communication with our families.
