Birmingham City Schools (BCS) is committed to guiding all students to achieve excellence in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment. As district leaders continue to establish guidelines to combat the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had on our school system, we realize that while the district must restructure its models of education in preparation for the upcoming school year 2020-2021, our ultimate goal of providing students with a high quality education remains our main mission. The leaders of Birmingham City Schools will continue to monitor the data surrounding COVID-19 as well as consider the recommendations for parents and other stakeholders prior to making a decision that will impact the safety of our students, their families and our employees.
