Burlington Community School District (BCSD) is a public school district headquartered in Burlington, Iowa. Entirely in Des Moines County, it serves Burlington and Middletown, as well as residences in the western portion of West Burlington.[2][3]
History[edit]
School District No. 2 of the Township of Burlington was established on March 29, 1849, when 63% of voters at Congregational Church agreed to create it. The first school built with taxpayer money, with construction in the period 1851–1852, was North Hill School.[4]
