Continuing accountability: Community Bond Oversight Committee calls for applications
Community input and oversight have been cornerstones of the district’s successful capital improvement programs. BVSD is again looking for community members to join the Community Bond Oversight Committee to provide monitoring and review of projects described in the $350M 2022 Critical Needs Plan. Through its work, the committee provides a high level of accountability and transparency to the BVSD community on behalf of the district and the Board of Education.
What you need to know:
CBOC will meet quarterly initially. Upcoming meeting dates are Wednesdays, May 17, Sept. 20, and Dec. 13. Meetings are held from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m., in-person at the Education Center, 6500 E. Arapahoe Rd., Boulder
Membership includes parents, teachers, principals, representatives from all BVSD communities, and former Capital Improvement Plan Review Committee members. Professional experience in fields related to capital construction such as architecture/engineering, business, construction, and accounting/financial management is a plus.
Members serve 2 and 3-year terms.
Applications due: March 17
How to report discrimination
Our school community is committed to providing a safe educational environment where all members of our community are treated with respect. As we continue to work on creating more inclusive spaces of belonging, we want to make sure our students and families know about and have access to the BVSD discrimination reporting form. The form can also be accessed under the "Help for Students" tab located at the top banner on every BVSD webpage.
Completed forms are submitted directly to the District's Equity Compliance Officer who then connects with the reporting party and works to make sure appropriate next steps are taken.
If you have any questions about the form or making a report, please contact Elizabeth Francis Equity Counsel/Title IX Coordinator, Boulder Valley School District at 720.561.8091 or elizabeth.francis@bvsd.org.

Respiratory Illness Season Reminders
Colorado is seeing an increase in respiratory illnesses in children across the state. As the temperatures drop and we spend more time indoors these viruses spread more easily.
There are actions we can continue to take to keep ourselves and our families healthy from all communicable diseases such as Colds, RSV, Flu, and COVID-19.
Please stay home if sick
At least 24 hrs after you’ve had a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea (resolved without medications)
If you have multiple symptoms such as coughing, congestion, aches, or sore throat - stay home until they start to improve
Follow the school guidelines for returning - students AND staff
Get tested - testing is available for COVID, Flu, and RSV
Practice good hand and respiratory hygiene
Cover your cough
Dispose of tissues immediately
Wash or sanitize your hands
Talk to your healthcare provider about vaccines for Flu and COVID-19
Consider wearing a mask indoors for added protection
Quick Check Resource - Is it Allergies, Cold, Flu, COVID or RSV
Children’s Hospital Colorado has more detailed information on symptoms, duration and treatment options here: The Difference Between COVID-19, Cold, Flu and Other Bugs Affecting Kids
