Board approves textbook committees, names AASB delegate and updates athletics supplements
Summary
The board approved 2025-26 textbook adoption committees (including parent representatives), appointed Jarrod Johnson as AASB delegate, and added Marissa Johnson as junior-high girls head basketball coach with a $1,920 supplement.
The Colbert County Schools Board of Education on Nov. 3 approved several procedural and personnel housekeeping items.
Textbook adoption committees for 2025-2026 were approved for elementary (K-5) and high-school (6-12) levels. Committee rosters include district teachers and two parent representatives (Kamiya Thorne for elementary and Emiley Crisler for high school), as recorded in the minutes. Jarrod Johnson moved approval of the textbook committee list; Rickie Saint seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Board President Jackie Witt recommended Jarrod Johnson to serve as the board’s delegate to the Alabama Association of School Boards’ (AASB) 2025 Annual Convention and Delegate Assembly on Dec. 4, 2025. David Yarber moved the nomination and Steve Stayton seconded; the appointment was approved unanimously.
The board also approved a change to the athletics supplement list for 2025-2026: Marissa Johnson was added as Junior High Girls Head Basketball Coach and will receive a $1,920 supplement; at Cherokee High School, the remainder of the varsity boys basketball supplement will transfer from Nick Coln to Dennis Moore. The athletics change was approved unanimously.
These items were approved without recorded dissent or additional conditions. The minutes do not provide further detail on committee meeting schedules, delegate duties, or athletics contract language.
