District-wide drive shatters 2012 collections

Bloomington Public Schools and several of its business partners collected over 8,400 pounds of food and $11,700 in cash as part of this year’s fourth annual District-wide Food Drive, easily topping last year’s collections.

Bloomington Public Schools officials are proposing a host of school safety improvements to better prepare, protect and respond to school emergencies after a four-month safety and security study of the district’s schools, early childhood family centers and support facilities. The recommendations were presented to the School Board on Monday, April 29.
