April's meeting was hosted by Dixie Elementary School. The district's Director of Transportation, Mr. Lane Lindsay, and the Director of At Risk/Attendance, Mr. Jacob Johnson, discussed many topics including bus safety, weather safety, truancy data, and mental health awareness.

Each month, directors from around the district give updates and discuss questions and/or concerns from our advisory committee. Our school district is committed to growing and getting better everyday. If you are interested in working with this group, please email Ms. Mary McBride at mcbridem@russellcsd.net.

All schools in Russell County are supported by Title I federal funds. Title I schools are required to set annual goals for school improvement, measure student progress using Alabama State Standards, and implement programs and services beyond what the district usually provides. The district and schools are also required to plan how they will involve parents and families in the education of their children. This newsletter is just one of many ways Russell County School District strives to keep families involved as well as educated on all Title I supports.

The annual Stakeholder meeting was held on August 25th from 5:45- 7:00 at the Warrior Training Center. All stakeholders have a right to know what is happening in their school district. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mrs. Kimmel at kimmels@russellcsd.net.
