  The Bellevue Community School District (also known as Bellevue Community Schools, or BCSD) is a rural public school district and serves the city and surrounding area of Bellevue, Iowa. It is second largest public school district in Jackson County, Iowa. It operates two buildings serving grades PK-12 and 3-4 year old preschool. Bellevue High School holds both the junior high and high school as well as an athletics complex on its campus, while Bellevue Elementary School is located downtown within the pre-Civil War Jackson County Courthouse building. The district is overseen by the Iowa Department of Education.
  
  ## Area
  
  The district currently serves the city of Bellevue and most of rural northeastern Jackson County. The district also serves the cities of La Motte and Springbrook. The district has held a sharing agreement with Andrew Community School District since 2011 when Andrew's high school closed, allowing 9-12 grade students to choose between attending Bellevue High School or Maquoketa High School in Maquoketa. The district shares borders with Dubuque Community School District to the north, Andrew Community School District to the west, and Easton Valley Community School District to the south, with the Mississippi River and the state border with Illinois to the east.
  
  ## Administration
  
  School board elections are held every year in November to fill in vacant seats on the 5 member school board. The school board meets regularly at 6:30 PM Central Time on the second Monday of every month. These meetings are held at Bellevue High School's District Boardroom, located at 1601 State Street in Bellevue. In addition, the School Board holds special meetings and work sessions throughout the year as needed. These meetings are open to the public unless otherwise noted and agendas/minutes are available on the district's website.
