Last night’s Board of Education meeting was filled with celebration and recognition! 🎉
First, congratulations to Riverview Elementary for being honored by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Elementary Schools for 2026. This achievement reflects the incredible dedication of Riverview’s staff, students, and families. Way to go, Riverview! ❤️📚
We also celebrated our outstanding BRPS Facilities Department, led by Director Brian Akey, for earning the Michigan Safety Awareness and Facilities Excellence (MSAFE) Award from SET SEG. This award recognizes Michigan public schools that demonstrate exceptional safety, risk management, and facilities practices—and our team continues to set the standard. Their hard work keeps our students and staff safe every single day. 🛠️🏆
