Indianapolis, IN, July 31, 2026 —

Columbus, IN – The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC) has publicly released its inaugural employee injury report, covering the period from July 2025 to June 2026. The report details a total of 319 incidents involving school employees during that timeframe.

This new reporting initiative by BCSC comes in the wake of a significant change at the state level. Indiana has ceased its own public reporting of school employee injuries. This decision was a direct result of House Enrolled Act 1249, legislation that altered the state’s approach to data collection and dissemination regarding workplace safety in educational institutions.

BCSC’s new policy is specifically designed to monitor and document injuries that occur due to the actions of other individuals. The stated aim of this internal tracking is to foster greater transparency within the district regarding the safety of its workforce. Furthermore, the corporation intends for this data to serve as a catalyst for meaningful discussions and actionable steps toward enhancing workplace safety for its educators and all school staff.

The specific nature of the 319 reported incidents, including details on the types of injuries sustained, the circumstances surrounding each event, and whether they were indeed caused by others, was not immediately available in the initial release. The district’s commitment to transparency suggests further details may be forthcoming as they continue to refine their internal reporting processes. The initiative underscores a growing focus on employee well-being within the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation as they navigate new state-level data reporting landscapes.
