Laptop Insurance
In our continuous efforts to serve our students and their families better, we are pleased to provide information to you about our Laptop Insurance Program for the 2024/25 school year. This Laptop Insurance Program is designed to either waive or reduce the cost associated with repairing or replacing a damaged device. For a nominal fee of just $20 per school year, this insurance provides a layer of protection and peace of mind, ensuring that accidental damages do not interrupt your child's learning or your family's budget.

Bullying, Hate, & Bias Management Response
This online reporting platform is a safe space for Birmingham Public Schools students to document bullying, hate and bias-related incidents within our schools or at school-related activities. The district firmly believes that bullying, hatred and bias have no place anywhere, including Birmingham Public Schools. Our primary objective is to ensure all students feel emotionally and physically safe.
