Mask Update:
Governor Hutchinson announced today that the statewide mask mandate has been lifted as of today, March 30, 2021. It will be left up to local authorities on whether or not to continue the mask mandate in individual organizations. At this time, Beebe School District will continue to wear masks per current policy. The Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has mandated that school districts not change current policy without board action. A special board meeting will be held this Thursday, April 1st at 5 pm to allow the board to make a decision on this issue. The district’s options will be to continue, modify, or eliminate the current mask policy. As soon as a decision is made that evening, the district will provide an update via our website and social media outlets.
We are happy to offer a close knit community for students such as Miami! School Choice deadline is May 1st - Come see how you can fit in with our Badger family! #BPRD
