Our Vision
The Boulder Valley Safe Schools Coalition envisions each school as a place where every family can belong, every educator can teach, and every child can learn.

About Us
The BVSSC is an advisory committee to the Superintendent, a coalition of community organizations and individuals working to promote a safe, put-down-free environment in Boulder Valley Schools, with particular concern for youth experiencing harassment for perceived or actual differences in gender identity/expression or sexual orientation.

What Do We Do?
The Boulder Valley Safe Schools Coalition:

• Supports the implementation of the Nondiscrimination Policy in each school.
  
• Advocates for students, staff, families who experience harassment and/or discrimation especially in the area of gender identity/expression or sexual orientation.
  
• Provides resources such as speakers and materials to educate about creating a safe, supportive school environment.
  
• Offers trainings for teachers, administrators, and community members about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth (LGBTQ).
  
• Networks with local, state, and national groups who share our concerns.
  
• Encourages dialogue among concerned citizens with opposing points of view.
  

Meeting Times
You're welcome to get involved by attending a meeting. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Superintendent's Conference Room at BVSD Ed Center, 6500 Araphaoe Road in Boulder.
