The primary, elementary, middle and high Schools are all managed by a six-member Site-Based Decision Making Council. The SBDM Councils are composed of three teacher representatives, two parent representatives and the school's principal.

Computers and hand-held devices are available in all K-12 schools at a ratio of one computer to every three children. All classrooms are linked directly indirectly to the Internet.

Bardstown was one of Kentucky's first school systems to adopt a year-round calendar during the 1995–96 school year, and system-wide school uniform policy for students in 1998.[3]

Community education

Community education has been serving students for 22 years. The program operates on a year-round basis offering GED instruction, TABE testing for industry and the WIA program, English language learners (ELL) classes, literacy, corrections education, and community education programs.[4]
