Our community is facing a potential food crisis due to the federal government shutdown. As you may have heard, more than 20 thousand families in Birmingham will see a pause with their SNAP benefits starting November 1. The disruption in SNAP benefits will impact our BCS family. We’re here to help.
If your family is affected, please know our schools will continue to provide your child breakfast and lunch every school day. We are working with our partners, including the city of Birmingham and the United Way of Central Alabama, to identify organizations that will provide food to families in need.
Visit our Bham Ready page for more information.
We are NOW accepting applications for our Speciality Schools, Career Academies (including Pathways to Professional Nursing), BCS Early College and Virtual Academy of Learning for the 2026-27 school year Visit Registration to begin! #SuccessStartsHere
Reminder: all of our schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. Stay updated on events and holidays via the Events section of our website. #SuccessStartsHere
