We have been cleared by the police department to resume all activities on campus. We want to thank the Brookland Police and Craighead County Sherriff's Department for their communications with us throughout the situation. At no time were our students or staff in any danger, but the Brookland School District will always place safety first.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

The school went into a temporary lockdown with a malfunction of our RAVE System signaling an active shooter. The police responded within seconds and discovered it was a malfunction. All students and staff are safe and there was NO active shooter. We are in contact with the company that provides our system to explain and correct.
USDA Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder
USDA works closely with states to ensure that children who receive on free or reduced-price school meals can get the nutrition they need when schools are closed – whether during summer break or unexpected closures during the school year. Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost. Families can use this tool to find directions to nearby meal sites, as well as their hours of operation and contact information.
Families seeking food assistance for their children can also contact The USDA National Hunger Hotline, operated by Hunger Free America. The hotline can be reached Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET. at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479) (for English) or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) (for Spanish).
As we are approaching the final weeks of the school year, we want to inform you that we will not be sending home printed lunch debt notices for the remaining weeks. We will continue to send texts as well as emails as long as we have the updated information in the offices. If you'd like to check the balance due for your child(ren), please contact Wendy Pannell at 870-336-6563 or wpannell@bpsbearcats.com.
All debts should be paid before the start of the new school year.
Summer EBT benefits may be available to you if you qualify. Scan the QR code or go to the following link for more information. You can also contact the local DHS office for more information.
