Multiple board members offered personal remarks describing House as a steady presence who helped board members, delivered materials, and provided both practical and emotional support. One board member recalled House bringing a basket of items after a family bereavement; another said she had been a ‘‘steady rudder’’ for the organization through many leadership changes.

House addressed the board from the dais, saying, \"I do love each and every one of you, and I will miss you very much,\" and indicated she would remain in the community and return for occasional work. The board brought House to the front of the meeting room for remarks and informal recognition; no formal resolution or action items were recorded.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tuscaloosa City Schools Regular Board Meeting - June 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members delivered tributes to Liz House for long service and institutional knowledge; she said she will remain involved informally after leaving her current role.","taxTitle","Tuscaloosa City Schools, School Districts, Alabama","taxId",13593,"location","Alabama","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513522,"Board rescinds earlier Frontline contract, approves reduced three-year agreement",63,800000,863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070686-db71ad196bdaa1c43d9184737d94d757&start=800&end=863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070686-db71ad196bdaa1c43d9184737d94d757/thumbnail_800000.jpg","/articles/6513522/Alabama/Board-rescinds-earlier-Frontline-contract-approves-reduced-three-year-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513522-486b6df869d9049c80bd0a8969eb0c6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185393&Signature=IfsXtawKIwgCTSJHgFv1-21gYn~GTCjlUyo5IyNdT5aJ2mkeNrpCqNUTZANaJVykpc~-Zo2c~-D4BeLA-S0sJL3wjhDBnetC8wsJORCoULMnUU7tg-hf7YGKNJng49GrNFDvJ66q1eG78h6keinbfG7toZWz7E1OE3l1hc~~ETCi1owoSuhS8G8CTlx4oWI-KAYlS5WdRS~cR0-H9f6PdN2a32uZOUHJ7Xg1uAJTpUOcRRyf2B2vG0-cgFxJAHpkZhvC32819NDJHbfOJC0wpqv5DwfSeRQUs7ksw5pjHAX9Nig5LyE2d-STDMqZ9~5puA~cH60W5i~Ml2rZKS7seQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tuscaloosa City Schools Board of Education on June 24 rescinded a previously approved contract with Frontline Technologies Group LLC and approved a replacement three-year agreement at a reduced annual rate.

A staff member told the board the district had previously approved Frontline at approximately $92,000; staff proposed rescinding that approval and bringing forward a three-year contract that yields annual savings of about $17,000. The board approved the rescission and the new contract by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative \"Aye\" responses but does not provide a roll-call tally.

The contract relates to employee evaluation management software (Frontline). The staff member described the change as a cost-saving measure; no additional implementation details, contract number, or start date were provided on the record.

During the meeting, Dr. Daria read a list that included one resignation, one new certified hire, one classified transfer, multiple supplemental assignments (including fall and spring semester academic incentives, web leaders and secondary department chairs), two resignations on the supplemental list, nine new certified personnel on the supplemental list, two rehired certified personnel, and additional reassignments and transfers. Dr. Daria also told the board the district currently has 35 vacancies and will hold a job fair on July 10 to recruit candidates.

A board member asked whether two items on the supplemental \"pink sheet\" were recent; Dr. Daria replied they were—one was a rehire following a reduction and the other was an intern returning to the program. The board approved the personnel packet on a voice vote; the transcript records the motion and the board's “Aye” responses but does not list an individual roll-call tally.

The board directed no additional follow-up during the meeting; the superintendent provided the staffing figures and the date for the job fair. No specific schools were identified as having a disproportionate number of vacancies beyond a comment that one school had a heavier need than others.","Board approved the superintendent's personnel recommendations that included hires, resignations and transfers; the superintendent noted 35 current vacancies and announced a July 10 job fair to recruit staff.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513531,"Tuscaloosa City Schools communications team honored with national NSPRA awards",238,100000,338000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070686-db71ad196bdaa1c43d9184737d94d757&start=100&end=338","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070686-db71ad196bdaa1c43d9184737d94d757/thumbnail_100000.jpg","/articles/6513531/Alabama/Tuscaloosa-City-Schools-communications-team-honored-with-national-NSPRA-awards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513531-03f4d9eb36e08e8ba47aede3ca4725f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185393&Signature=HUS5DZGd4T92r54OGNC5WL97CFuElxz23LgBdKVuKkwWB9y8mNb6PmeFUdtpLpcc~erHXRFNXp3l~1KjIA6uUDODeGbnE3MFB5mMUjwO5Cf~7KV4-WwHnlAD~xglm60QUJk8mfeVyHlnGtM8QLhupEbG8vCd5YCzZirl0mVhlkg0UWIdVYD4bhTum3mmGOvwG9AkxvtmHsM45NinaEU-WwBxZc39t-AaRggGVvVu6TvVUb60xzD8IVXyq808JZlef9t7v0H13qK19fnN6dZFRkrv7ARwX6q0Yza59fty61wZQiRL25vSpha6fXRa89y2H-E9fETxsA2RyUNJwivjUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tuscaloosa City Schools Board of Education on June 24 recognized the district public relations team after the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) gave the staff several awards for publications, photography and video.

Board members praised the communications staff for documenting the district's progress and engaging the community. Dr. Daria, the superintendent, told the board the PR team's work helps the public see the district's improving outcomes and that staff would travel to St. Louis in July to receive the awards.

Lydia Avant, PR director, said the annual report \"shows the culmination of all of everything, the successes of the previous school year\" and credited strong photography and videography for helping tell those stories. Dave Crutchfield, a member of the communications team, said the work allows him to \"promote the positive things in our schools\" and described the job as a ‘‘blessing.’’

Board members repeatedly commended the team. One board member said the awards were welcome recognition but added that the system already knew the staff were performing at a national level. The board did not take any formal action beyond recognition.

The awards named by the board included a Publications and Digital Media Excellence award for the district annual report, a financial publication award of excellence, an in-house single video award of merit for a piece called \"Everyday Amazing,\" and honorable mentions in photography and video credited to Dave Crutchfield and Eddie McClinton.

The recognition occurred near the start of the board’s regular meeting and was presented in-person by Avant and Crutchfield; McClinton was noted as absent and on vacation.","The board recognized the district public relations staff after the National School Public Relations Association awarded the team multiple honors for publications, photography and video.","actionData","errors"]
