Summary

At its March 25 meeting at Sparkman High School, the Madison County Schools Board of Education approved an artificial turf project at Hazel Green High School and a slate of bids, contracts and personnel items, and voted to enter executive session before returning to complete administrative business.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. — The Madison County Schools Board of Education approved an artificial turf installation at Hazel Green High School and a series of administrative items during its regular session March 25 at Sparkman High School.

Board President Brooks presided as the board voted on several routine and capital items. Superintendent (unnamed in the record) recommended approval of bids and bid renewals, contracts for services, personnel items, and renewed principal and assistant principal contracts; each recommendation drew a motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote recorded as “Aye.”

The most substantive action was approval of the Hazel Green High School artificial turf project. The superintendent described the plan as part of a longer-term effort to provide turf and competition-caliber tracks across the county’s high schools, eventually including Buckhorn, New Hope, Madison County High and others. The board was told the Hazel Green field is expected to be ready for play in the fall 2025 season. No separate funding source or contract amount was specified in the meeting remarks.

The board also approved personnel and administrative renewals, including principal contracts that some administrators will receive as three-year appointments after completing probationary status. No opposing votes or roll-call tallies were reported on the record; actions were confirmed by unanimous voice vote.

The board briefly moved into executive session on a request described as concerning “reputation and character” under the Open Meetings Act, then returned to regular session and completed the administrative agenda.
