The Haleyville City Schools Board of Education met Tuesday, a week early due to the holidays next week. The Board approved a one-time payment to all certified employees of $100 and $50 for all non-certified employees. According to Superintendent Holly Sutherland, this was done as a “thank-you” to all the employees who have worked hard for STEM certification of all four schools, first in the nation to do so, in addition to many other great achievements.

Baseball schedules for HHS and HMS were approved along with the Board expenditures for the month of November in the amount of $1,597,079.10. Three field trips, two fundraisers and amendments to the substitute teacher and nurses lists.

Board President Donna Jones was recognized for having achieved Level 3 by the Alabama School Boards Association.
