Tuscaloosa City Schools board adopts superintendent personnel recommendations, approves supplemental retirement
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City Schools Board of Education approved the superintendent's personnel recommendations, including multiple resignations, reassignments and supplement removals, and separately approved one supplemental retirement listed on the supplemental sheet.
The Tuscaloosa City Schools Board of Education on Sept. 16, 2025, approved the superintendent's recommendations on personnel changes and separately approved one retirement listed on the supplemental personnel sheet.
The board voted to adopt the superintendent's recommendations — which the presenter said include two resignations, one termination of a probationary classified employee pursuant to the Students First Act, 37 reassignments, one suspension for certified personnel pursuant to the Students First Act, multiple athletic supplement removals listed by school, and six part-time extended-day tutors. The supplemental list shown to the board included one retirement, two resignations, one new certified hire, one part-time extended-day tutor and two contracted coaches for the 2025–26 school year.
A board member asked for exceptions to the main recommendation and the board adopted the superintendent's recommendations with the exceptions noted on the supplemental sheet. The board then voted separately to adopt item 1 on the supplemental list, described in the meeting as a retirement. Board members did not name the retiree during the roll call recorded in the transcript; a board speaker said the retiree "has earned his retirement" and that "Dr. Pope and his team have a plan." The transcript does not specify the retiree's name or the plan details.
Superintendent Dr. Daria provided no separate public report under the superintendent's informational item, and the personnel recommendations were presented by a staff member who reviewed the main and supplemental lists for the board.
The board recorded the motions and adopted the items as described during the meeting. The meeting transcript does not list a roll-call breakdown by member for these votes; the board chair called for "all in favor" and members answered "Aye," after which the chair declared the motions passed.
The personnel actions will take effect according to standard district procedures; the transcript does not specify individual effective dates beyond the contract and supplement references shown in the personnel list.
