We talked with superintendents in Sand Mountain who say they are keeping some coronavirus precautions in place, but campuses will look closer to how they did before the pandemic. My effort has been a measured approach to follow the ADPH guidelines and to provide as much normalcy as possible with our students and staff, said Dr. Cindy Wigley, Superintendent with Marshall County Schools.
Superintendents Dr. Cindy Wigley with Marshall County Schools and Dr. Johnny Berry with Arab City Schools both say right now, they plan to make some coronavirus precautions, like masks, in place.
Scottsboro City Schools will be hosting a parent informational meeting on Sunday at 2 and 3:30 p.m. at Page Administration Building to try and teach parents what they can do for their kids about the Alabama Literacy Act.
The Alabama Literacy Act dictates that if a childâs reading isnât up to grade level by the end of 3
rd grade, the child can be held back a year. While the law was passed in 2019, it wonât take effect until the upcoming 2021-2022 school year.
The meeting on Sunday will be explaining what the Literacy Act means, how it can affect the students, what it means for parents and how parents can prepare their kids for the upcoming school year. At the end of this will be a parent Q&A to answer any questions parents may still have afterwards. They will have two times scheduled in order to give more parents an opportunity to attend.

When Tina Bolt resigned her position as chief financial officer for Hoover City Schools in March 2019 to take the same job with Huntsville City Schools, it didnât take her long to realize she missed Hoover.
Nine months later, when a finance director job opened up with the city of Hoover, Bolt jumped at the chance to come back.
