Superintendent: kindergarten registration underway; graduations scheduled at Wallace State
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Barnett reported on kindergarten registration, graduation scheduling at Wallace State Community College, the child development center ceremony, and urged community support as state bills create pressures on staff.
Superintendent Dr. Barnett reported several calendar and operational items and urged the community to support staff as the district approaches the end of the school year.
Dr. Barnett said kindergarten registration has begun and will continue school-by-school through April into May. He reviewed the district's graduation schedule, noting that graduation ceremonies will be held at Wallace State Community College; the district pays to rent the facility. He said the child development center's graduation will be scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m., followed by Vinemont's graduation later that day, and that ceremonies are staggered to allow use of the rented facility.
Dr. Barnett invited board members to participate in a district school-visit day in May to observe improvements across campuses. He also reminded attendees that the state has introduced multiple bills that create pressure on district staff and operations. "Anytime that we can encourage our employees and our students, I just wanna encourage you to do that," Dr. Barnett said. He praised the district's teachers and students for raising the district's performance and said the district is aiming for "a level of excellence to be one of the best in the state of Alabama." He concluded by noting the date for the next board meeting and work session.
The remarks were informational; the transcript records no formal board direction or new policy from this report.
