Students begin new school year
Coosa County students headed back to school Thursday. With the goal of keeping students physically in school learning, the school system is maintaining the same COVID-19 safety protocols followed at the end of the 2020-2021 school year with the exception that masks do not have to be worn outdoors.
A special called board meeting was held Wednesday to finalize staff hires. The board approved Katie Martin as a Central Elementary sixth grade teacher. Mrs. Martin was the salutatorian of Central High School’s class of 2012.
Jason Roberts, who attends church in Coosa County and has worked as a DJ for dances in the school system, was hired as a janitor and maintenance assistant. We are thankful that we started the school year fully staffed as the state and nation are faced with teacher shortages.
