Summary
At its March 19 meeting, the Etowah County Board of Education unanimously approved Refocus Center recommendations, set 2026 summer-school dates and fees, and approved a package of personnel actions; all votes were recorded as unanimously approved.
The Etowah County Board of Education approved three agenda items in a March 19, 2026 meeting in Gadsden, including recommendations for a Refocus Center, the 2026 summer-school dates and fees, and a bundled set of personnel actions.

Board Member Danny Golden made the motion to approve the personnel actions as a whole; Mrs. Scarlett Farley seconded, and the motion was recorded as “Unanimously Approved.” The minutes list the categories of personnel actions but do not provide names or item-level details; those specifics are therefore not specified in these minutes.
