Based on BCTC’s Health and Safety Plan, and given that the County transmission level has reached the designation of “high” (as per CDC data), effective Tuesday, August 24, 2021, staff, students, and visitors are required to wear a face covering in all BCTC buildings regardless of vaccination status, until further notice.

The Berks Career and Technology Center Joint Operating Committee under the leadership of Chairperson, Mr. Oscar Manbeck, BCTC Executive Director, Dr. Michael Stauffer and the Administration of the Berks Career and Technology Center, want to reassure the school districts and students, parents and businesses in which we serve that we remain firm in our stand against racism, injustice, and inequality. We will continue to support our sending districts in their commitment to ensure a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment for all students in Berks County. BCTC is committed to these core values and will demonstrate our reaffirmation and commitment through our actions. As a school of choice, our beliefs are focused on fostering inclusion, compassion, kindness, and respect for our students, families, staff and community.
