We appreciate the leadership of our Board of Directors and its efforts in developing BCEF’s initiatives and programs.

The Batesville Community Education Foundation is an independent entity from the Batesville Community School Corporation. It has a separate board of directors and any BCEF staff work for the foundation and not the school corporation.
