Shortly after he was hired as the new superintendent of BVSD in July 2007, Chris King formed an advisory committee to focus on ways the district could support parents in their work to ensure the health, safety and well being of their children. One of the first recommendations this committee made was to provide parents with a monthly newsletter on these topics. Just such a newsletter was already being produced by National Families in Action in Atlanta, Georgia; for a modest fee, the district was able to subscribe to Parent Corps News on behalf of all BVSD parents and staff. Since August 2007, the Parent Corps News has been freely distributed to parents through the schools. See below for a full archive of past issues:
