Safety Committee

The BCS Safety Committee is made up of parents and staff who are concerned with advancing the safety and security of our school. Our goals cover a variety of safety issues, including: identifying and addressing COVID safety issues; advocacy on seismic safety with elected officials at the local, state, and federal level; non-structural seismic preparations, such as strapping bookshelves to walls, securing projectors, etc.; reunification planning, implementation, and practice; acquisition and storage of emergency supplies; and more.
