The Bethel School District is beginning the successor bargaining process with our classified employees and our partners at the Bethel Association of Classified Employees (BACE). We value the important contributions of our classified staff and look forward to working collaboratively with BACE to reach a responsible, sustainable agreement. As bargaining dates are scheduled, they will be posted on our district website, along with ongoing updates and information throughout the process.

As we move forward together following the recent decision to close Shasta Middle School at the end of the 2025–26 school year. We know this decision brings many emotions and questions for students, families, and staff. Shasta has been a special place for generations, and we want to acknowledge the deep sense of connection so many of you feel to this school community.

As we begin this transition, our goal is to communicate clearly, listen closely, and support your family every step of the way. We will share monthly updates as planning continues and will provide multiple opportunities for families to offer feedback, ask questions, and stay informed.
