Tuscaloosa County Board approves dual-enrollment pact with Bevill State, adopts 2026–27 course catalogs
Summary
The board unanimously approved a Dual Enrollment Agreement with Bevill State Community College to let high school students earn concurrent high school and postsecondary credits, and adopted the 2026–27 high school and middle school course catalogs.
The Tuscaloosa County Board of Education on March 2 unanimously approved a Dual Enrollment Agreement with Bevill State Community College that allows high school students to take college-level courses for both a high school diploma and a postsecondary credential. The superintendent recommended the agreement and Portia Jones moved to accept the recommendation; Neal Guy seconded.
The board also adopted the district’s 2026–27 course catalogs for both high school and middle school. The superintendent presented the catalogs as part of the action items; Portia Jones moved to approve the high school catalog, seconded by Lance Bailey, and Lance Bailey moved to approve the middle school catalog, seconded by Portia Jones. Both motions passed by unanimous vote.
Board members did not record extended debate on the curriculum items in the meeting minutes. The votes complete the board’s formal approval of course offerings and the partnership arrangement for the coming academic year. No implementation timeline, financial allocations, or student eligibility details were listed in the minutes; those items were not specified in the record.
The board took these votes as part of its action-item agenda and approved other business later in the meeting, including routine consent and personnel items. The meeting adjourned at 5:25 p.m.
