A Message from Deputy Neil

Hello Bogan Families!

 

As you may have heard, my last day was yesterday the 6th.  I accepted a road patrol position with the City of Mason PD.  Please know the decision to leave was hard but Mason was a huge opportunity to better position my family for the near future, which is college for my kids.  I wanted to THANK YOU for allowing me to get to know your AWESOME kids!  Each one is unique and will always hold a special place in my heart!  We have made many GREAT memories that I hope will stay with your kids as they will for me.  It was truly an Honor and Privilege to be a part of the Bogan Family and Yours!  I wish you all the best and I will check in from time to time.  As I told the kids it will be "See you around", not goodbye forever.

 

We wish Deputy Neil all the best and appreciate the time he was with us at Bogan.  Butler County Sheriff’s Office will provide a new SRO starting Monday 10/10.

TSD Lunch Program

For the past two school years, the USDA has offered waivers to food service programs across the US allowing us to offer all students a breakfast and lunch at no charge.  Unfortunately, these waivers expired June 30, 2022.  This means that families will be asked to complete and submit a Meal Benefits Application for the 2022-23 school year.  With the waivers, breakfast and lunch were free.  This year if students do not qualify for free/reduced lunch, they must pay.  The prices are listed below:

Student Meal Pricing

Breakfast - $1.50 

Lunch - Elementary $2.75 

Milk (Individual) - $.60
