Program allowing no cost meals for all students not available for 2022-23
For the past two years, the United States Department of Agriculture has offered waivers to school districts allowing them to offer students breakfast and lunch at no charge. Those waivers are now expired. This means that starting in August of 2022-2023, we will return to normal pre-pandemic operations.

Leaving BAS
The school’s goal is to have students return to their home school and complete graduation requirements. BAS offers all core subjects including special education in middle and high school for grades sixth through 12th. Students receive a full day of instruction; high school students work on a 4x4 block schedule and middle school students take four core classes and two related arts classes.

BCSD Attendance Policy
By law, students age 6-17 are required to attend school. An Attendance Intervention Plan(AIP) must be completed by a school representative for students who have missed 3 consecutive or 5 unlawful days. This AIP meeting is held with the student, parent/guardian, and school representatives. This is an intervention on the school level to address the issues that have prevented the student(s) from not attending school as required by law.
