BSB Policy Regarding the flying of flags at half-staff
The decision to fly flags at half-staff ultimately rests with the Governor, but is normally made and carried out by the Superintendent.
The Bureau notifies other state-managed facilities in Massachusetts of this decision. This notification is distributed by way of e-mail.
If you would like to be added to this list, please e-mail Half-Staff Notification.
