Birmingham City Schools Marks Historic Day
The market is talking about the recent unveiling of a new monument at Booker T. Washington Elementary School in Birmingham, which commemorates the institution’s rich history. Established in 1909, the school has undergone significant changes, moving to its current location a century later. The ceremony, attended by students and staff, included a reading of the new marker, celebrating the legacy of Booker T. Washington, who was born enslaved and later founded Tuskegee University.
Attendance Improvements in Birmingham City Schools
In addition to the historic unveiling, Birmingham City Schools has made notable strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, which has decreased by nearly 50% over the past two years, now standing at 14% compared to 29% in 2023. Superintendent Dr. Mark Sullivan emphasized the importance of attendance for academic success, stating, “Kids can’t learn if they’re not in school.” This trend is also reflected in the Winter Intersession attendance, with approximately 6,000 of over 20,000 enrolled students participating.
