At a special meeting this week three of our School Board members were sworn-in for reelected terms.
The Russell County Board of Education welcomed the reelection of Brenda Higginbotham, Gerald Murray, and Joy Wilson before a special school board meeting held January 21. The three members were sworn in by Family Court Judge Jennifer Edwards, who is also the mother of Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Higginbotham and Mr. Murray begin their fourth terms on the board, while Mrs. Wilson embarks on her third term. Each term spans four years, reflecting the members' commitment to supporting education in Russell County.

This article contains links to the Russell County School District's American Rescue Plan (ARP)/Elementary & Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Plan and the Safe Return to In-person Instruction and Continuity of Services (Covid-19 Operations) Plan.
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plans (ARP) Act was signed into law. In it, the U.S. Department of Education is providing an additional $121.9 billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER III Fund). This legislation will award grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) for providing local educational agencies (LEAs) with emergency relief funds to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the nation.
The two plans describe how the Russell County School District will provide the safe return to in-person instruction and continuity of services for all schools, including those that have already returned to in-person instruction along with use of the ARP funds. This report template complies with all reporting requirements of the ARP Act (Public Law 117-2), the ESSER III grant terms, conditions, and assurances (CFDA Number 84.425U), and the interim final rule established by the United States Department of Education, 86 FR 21195.
The accountability scores for Russell County Schools are officially released to the public today. The district received scores in the core subjects as well as other factors such as school climate, safety, and graduation rate.
For the full text of the release, including score tables, please view this document.
