Safe school environment is a priority:
The BEA continues to advocate for safe working environments for all students, staff, and visitors who use our buildings, and we are anticipating the report from this summer’s facilities audit.  We hope to work with School Board Commissioners and administrators to ensure we have 21st century facilities, including safe and adequate indoor air quality, in which to implement 21st century teaching and learning.  The future is now, and it depends on our ability to focus on what matters most – our students. Burlington High School (LEFT) has been the recent focus of BEA concerns on air quality issues.
