The superintendent and staff indicated the agenda and live stream are presented side by side on the district website, and the board member said the minutes will be available afterwards but viewers cannot always see decisions in real time.

The board did not take formal action but acknowledged the transparency issue and discussed that staff would check how the agenda is presented to remote viewers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE Meeting 6-25-2025","oneSentenceSummary","A board member raised that YouTube live viewers cannot see which items are included in the consent agenda; staff said the website displays the current agenda side-by-side with the live broadcast but YouTube viewers may not see it.","taxTitle","Bibb County Regular School District, School Districts, Alabama","taxId",55147,"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},6186772,"Board member raises safety concerns over new housing access, bus stops and overgrown vegetation on school routes",159,2325000,2484000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba&start=2325&end=2484","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba/thumbnail_2325000.jpg","/articles/6186772/Alabama/Board-member-raises-safety-concerns-over-new-housing-access-bus-stops-and-overgrown-vegetation-on-school-routes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186772-6cbd0029723f8c49740aa8219ad2929d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770907822&Signature=Tph5BZmTgQOZlXlo7QrFYH4TNn24OAvPH14J0FZDLiBhHHjBQ9oXhRa4fJUUtPdrWsn0XW1HR5WB3xahQmKIYzrNFgDtEMbyxOLkOl0ZyXDjdh2bvGQVKLDY3AGAcuZNp2NKmJqWtfHM-w7AnHtS0CMo8BU9Nmw08gMVFPjQGkxdkDV3eE3MOmcJmyLdgEc5HFYAtj09vrSbT8LnTC5SX7G1txhukTGXKWMe1htzRjidzLwiWEoSByW~aIRJXpB6jSoi85btbsUE0EnbXQ-H5v6ZC433M7f-tSZmRkrMwvdlsMOvG342K47M9Y0NlUwxdFvR~n-c7Sg-roXAFEMhKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A board member at the Bibb County Regular School District meeting urged the superintendent to coordinate with city officials about a nearby housing development whose lot entrances could create hazardous conditions for school buses, and raised separate safety concerns about heavy kudzu growth and snakes along a back road used by buses between the elementary and high schools.

The board member reported that lots along the parkway were being sold and that entrances to lots likely will open onto a curvy highway where bus stops would be dangerous. They asked the superintendent to contact city officials and investigate the county’s rules on establishing public-road entrances and the developer’s plans. The board member explicitly framed the comments as a public-safety concern for school bus pick-ups.

The same board member described extensive kudzu growth on a back road primarily used by buses, saying the vines are overtaking power poles and obscuring the road. A staff member said the vegetation was on school property and suggested spraying to control the growth; the board member also reported seeing snakes in the same area, noting wildlife hazards for pedestrians and staff.

No formal motions followed from the remarks; the board member requested staff follow-up and discussion with municipal officials about entrance locations and bus-stop safety.","A board member told the Bibb County Regular School District meeting that new housing lots along a curvy parkway may create unsafe school-bus stops and asked the superintendent to coordinate with city officials; the member also urged district action on kudzu overgrowth and wildlife hazards along a back road used by buses.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6186775,"Board approves booster-funded summer stipends and maintenance payments amid questions on source and timing",221,1441000,1662000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba&start=1441&end=1662","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba/thumbnail_1441000.jpg","/articles/6186775/Alabama/Board-approves-booster-funded-summer-stipends-and-maintenance-payments-amid-questions-on-source-and-timing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186775-6ab3fce7c194a825fa8034c765d1b30c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770907822&Signature=nw~TeWs7vUUEQJeWKID5ov0IEtVlFUvFr2EqwlMZDMuqnjdCc5rExoxo1FgeTIAbyio7gavkwq8c24KZhGyb51dPk5-k3nE94l5HQC3JyBNUPJrj6E00KGdKEirZ52qgRyHOyBHZQa6L6mHF-KwGOJ1y5GvgyxatAFVZLI6KF6GOqbu8AA9murgdsiiUijTfuAY4wcRIQsfvuJoqqbMzfdamllmPeoUPl5OMCVXo1tc~6FaoNXOkqgv4O7lt2HuWQoc5g8lA-sSjFs7p4ihqqbUbrMS~wDdh0~rcIdLmCczjHIjhtc2NlJjK3Nvg~jlx47wdWj5XgeTMnQ0XE6BZBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bibb County Regular School District board approved multiple summer payments for baseball and football maintenance and summer duties that will be paid from booster-club funds, prompting questions from board members about funding source, timing and whether stipends count toward retirement.

The board approved a list of recommended payments for Bibb County High School baseball field maintenance and summer duties (examples included Kevin May $2,800; LA Glory $1,000; Justin Cottingham $850; Brett Lightsey $850; Matt Hyatt $850; West Cash $850; Blake Cook $6.50 as recorded). For football, the board approved booster-funded summer payments (recommended Kevin May $1,000; Jalen Gaines $1,000 and others). Board members asked whether these are district funds; staff said the booster club members voted to allocate their funds and that the payments come from booster funds, not district general funds.

Board members also asked how the payments are made and whether stipends are treated as a lump sum or spread over time. A staff member said amounts are divided over 12 months and that stipends are included in retirement-base calculations. On whether an active season would be held, staff said the summer payments were to maintain facilities even when teams are not active; coaches' regular stipends are handled through monthly pay.

The motions were approved by voice vote; board members emphasized the booster-club governance and that the district processes payments after booster approval.","The board approved multiple summer payments for athletic and field maintenance funded by booster clubs; members asked how payments are allocated, whether funds count toward retirement and which periods stipends cover.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6186780,"Board approves multiple hires, resignations and a retirement for 2025-26",0,1927000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba&start=1927&end=1927","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba/thumbnail_1927000.jpg","/articles/6186780/Alabama/Board-approves-multiple-hires-resignations-and-a-retirement-for-2025-26","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186780-87cc1c3e029404d700f9911b0c640406/orig.mp4?Expires=1770907822&Signature=gVKJdhh52k-~ntCyuimuf3gKBSjOMZmQySZW1UvHiZi5gLAIui0KOmKKv3gf1O7nXRQZNRirp4HQJX10RZPCVupSsBIG3hU0PAUW7pW1aafHXzKtzKKyvVsE7lTKqoOGGD9hQPdxhvsHmlA40~tku4GIHTNQbT4KmiVKBUH8JYL3q7aWrcdF6ExgwPglBDrrU~7FIVSr4qPcxa3CauBYs3p7mZwv8CCPa~RkcF-jAX9eFEiOQ5FZnudJRFsAf8CUfuUL5Js-o6opJC1-UcCYEOnWVgocXLRMSAfJA32pTtCfD5JqlulChrce9Lul3RizhL1ovFMWArBNW23P7WuYEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bibb County Regular School District board on Tuesday approved a series of personnel actions for the 2025-26 school year, including multiple teacher hires, resignations, and the retirement of a bus driver.

Among the actions approved were the employment of Damon Sweetin as instrumental music teacher/band director at Bibb County High School effective with the 2025-26 year; the hiring of Steven Young as a history teacher at Bibb County High; Casey McKenzie and Delilah Puriforri as special education teachers at Woodstock and Brent elementary schools respectively; and other local-school hires. The board accepted the resignation of Rico Dawson, a physical education teacher at Bibb County High School, effective June 25, 2025, and the retirement of bus driver Bobby Terry effective July 1, 2025. The board also approved maternity leave for Rachel Cromer from Aug. 4 to Oct. 13, 2025.

Most appointments and separations were presented by the superintendent and approved by voice votes with no roll-call tallies recorded. Substitute appointment rates were discussed briefly; a staff member said daily pay will be $85 for substitutes without a degree and $95 for those with a degree, with a bump after 20 consecutive days.

Board members did not attach additional conditions to the personnel approvals; the superintendent noted some reassignments at Britt Elementary for the coming year that reflect principal recommendations.","The Bibb County Regular School District board approved a slate of personnel actions including hires for classroom and specialist positions, resignations, a retirement and approved a maternity leave request.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6186785,"School board approves 2025-26 salary schedules, electronic-device policy and vendor contracts",66,1029000,1095000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba&start=1029&end=1095","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5074298-0f6ef7743abf8816565e3256a7cc26ba/thumbnail_1029000.jpg","/articles/6186785/Alabama/School-board-approves-2025-26-salary-schedules-electronic-device-policy-and-vendor-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186785-53b45637cb00b444a57d9a24e401a832/orig.mp4?Expires=1770907822&Signature=LkZNK5N~fOnbjzLOVNGBaq2Aebb4f85FCm~sTC4FEUruITWPxwSr89EXzYw6moO5XGizvJlU05ox9CPxQTjEtJZmzk8ET6sMGYFz1xzSWTOv0iP2Qq3iVAnWuejqzlGvxx5ygkA5SWmly1DOU7xlpopO~PH5dJYn3qb6Y3NAV2xAmskiCdpqwAFas2Ok4K9nnvX4e94u1GannAgWS~kAAwKvDiHu~peXmhKgGvoVQvNBFJUt9fr24cLD6FxOf5GtQ3O9NV67OvQh1y9ensHyvBBL8ofRZpH~-6L4Ya1GEUCCuRuIJUPaQYbFlPcEPOYnyQuxmAaBBk9N5dFjV4lJ2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bibb County Regular School District board on Tuesday approved the 2025-26 salary schedules, an electronic-communication-devices policy and routine vendor contracts, including a $9,370 annual payment for transportation software and a milk bid award for the 2025-26 school year.

Board members approved the superintendent's recommendation to adopt the 2025-26 salary schedules and to adopt Electronic Communication Devices Policy ECD-111. The board also approved an annual payment of $9,370 from transportation funds to maintain a state-mandated transportation data system after the state switched systems, and awarded bid 2024/25-03 for milk to Forestwood Farms Barnes Inc. for the 2025-26 school year.

Board members asked whether the $9,370 payment was an annual maintenance fee; a staff member answered it is an annual payment tied to the state's system change and said the district had remaining fuel-budget funds to cover the cost. The milk bid and other vendor payments presented at the meeting were approved by voice vote.

Several smaller purchases and service contracts were approved without extended debate, including environmental-services work for classrooms and recommendations to contract security officers for school events paid from local school funds.

The approvals were routine on voice votes; the board did not attach new conditions or referral instructions to the motions as presented. Future board materials will reflect the approved contracts and the funding sources noted at the meeting.","The Bibb County Regular School District board approved the 2025-26 salary schedules, an electronic communication devices policy and several vendor payments including a $9,370 annual transportation software fee and a milk bid award.","actionData","errors"]
