The district is proud to boast that it was among 476 school districts from across the nation to be named to the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation’s 2016 Best Communities for Music Education list.

According to the NAMM Foundation website, the BCME recognizes the outstanding efforts of teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who work together to ensure that all students have access to music education as part of the school curriculum.

The BCME program evaluates schools and districts based on funding, staffing of highly qualified teachers, commitment to standards, community support, participation and access to music instruction.
