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.
