“Due to additional alleged threats and social media postings, schools for the north end of the district, all elementary schools, Harris, BRMS, and BRHS will be moved online today. Please check your Canvas accounts and school emails for directions from your teachers. We are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
