On Day 4️⃣ of Leadership Week, our focus shifted to the essential support systems that empower our leaders.
Our team received critical updates on Title IX compliance, ensuring our schools continue to be safe and respectful places for all. We also heard from our new Director of Communications about powerful tools like the Thrillshare platform and Rooms, and received updates on SB 181 to enhance how we connect with our staff and community.
Today was all about ensuring our leaders have the knowledge they need to lead effectively✨
#BCPSSharedAccountability #BCPSFutureFocused #MovingForward
From mindset (Day 1️⃣) and mission (Day 2️⃣) to a plan of action on Day 3️⃣ !
The work of Leadership Week continued today with a clear and critical focus: building Your 2025–26 School Transformation Plan. School teams dedicated their time to turning our shared vision into a concrete strategy for the year ahead.
This marks year one of a three-year journey toward a powerful district goal: by 2028, every student will consistently experience authentic learning to inspire and equip them to succeed in life.
This foundational planning isn't easy; it requires immense hard work and dedication. We want to pause and recognize the incredible determination of our leadership team. Their effort today is a powerful reminder that we truly have the best of the best leading our schools and our district.
The detailed work today ensures our vision becomes a reality in every school, for every student. We're building the path forward, together. ✨

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a mindset!
Today, BCPS school and district leaders kicked off Leadership Week 25-26 by centering on the work that matters most:
✅ Revisiting our foundation: the BCPS Graduate Profile, Core Values, Board Aspirations, and Instructional Vision
✅ Reflecting on our progress: we’re continually working to enhance our partnership with our community to help us shift away from traditional accountability measures and move toward a more meaningful, local system
✅ Looking ahead and building the future: because real change requires courage, collaboration, and a shared vision for what comes next
Throughout the week, our team will continue learning, reflecting, and working together to move BCPS forward. Because when leadership is shared, and everyone owns the work, real change happens... for students, staff, families, and the entire community!
We’re not just leading schools. We’re leading the change. We're building something better... together!

‼️ Important medication update for the 2025-26 school year ‼️
Starting this fall, Kentucky schools can no longer administer any over-the-counter medications without both:
✔️ parent/guardian consent
✔️ a signed order from a licensed healthcare provider
This includes items like Tylenol, Motrin, cough drops, lotion, or anti-itch creams. If you want your child to have access to any over-the-counter (OTC) medications during the school day, you will need to have their doctor complete the official medication administration form.
We know this is a change from past practice and appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep all students healthy and safe.

🎡 Congratulations to Bullitt East High School’s Avery O’Bryan, who was named Supreme Grand Champion at the Bullitt County Fair.
We have been talking about the Bullitt County Graduate Profile in our schools for the past couple of years, and we thought it would be meaningful for our community to see what it looks like in action through real students right here in Bullitt County.
Avery shows us a real life example of what it means to be a self-directed navigator, community contributor, and effective communicator who leads with pride and purpose.
We are so proud of students like Avery who lead, serve, and inspire. 💙🐄
