WHY:
Student enrollment trends continue to impact school districts across the United States. BCPS has lost more than 10,000 students since last school year, which results in the loss of millions of dollars for our District. As BCPS continues to find ways to prepare for the future, Dr. Hepburn will share some of the challenges and considerations ahead. Attendees will also receive information about the Secure the Next Generation Referendum and have an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed renewal that will be presented to voters on the November 3, 2026, general election ballot.
