In the fall of 2021, this program was instituted within the district to offer daily support to students and staff through the provision of support dogs. These cherished canines play an integral role in addressing the social and emotional needs, as well as the educational requirements, of individuals within the educational community.

Initially, the initiative garnered support through donations from organizations such as the Rotary Club of Birmingham and DFCU Financial. Subsequently, additional funding was obtained from Eagles for Children and Oakland County Mental Health grants. To ensure that these support dogs are adequately qualified for their essential duties, a non-profit organization based in Brighton collaborated with BPS to certify and train facility dogs.

Although the ownership of these service dogs resides with the district, they are assigned to a school official who serves as their primary handler. The majority of expenses associated with the care and maintenance of these canines are dependent on funds raised through a variety of fundraising efforts, alongside generous donations received throughout each dog's lifetime.
