BACIS was created as part of LAUSD's Public School Choice process,[5] through which the School Board encouraged teacher teams to develop plans to restructure failing schools.[6] As a chronically underperforming school,[7] Banning was required to participate in the fourth round of Public School Choice, which concluded with Superintendent John Deasy approving the BACIS school plan. BACIS opened as a Small Learning Community in August 2013, and became an autonomous school in August 2014.
The school closed down on July 30, 2018.[citation needed]
