What Tallapoosa County Board of Education does

Tallapoosa County Board of Education (TCBOE) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Dadeville, Alabama, operating as a government state entity under the authority of the Alabama State Department of Education. The district serves approximately 2,800 students across six schools: Dadeville Elementary School, Dadeville High School, Edward Bell Career Tech Center, Horseshoe Bend School, Reeltown Elementary School, and Reeltown High School. It maintains 12 separate facilities, runs 47 bus routes transporting roughly 1,050 students daily, and operates on a 180-day academic year. Instructional offerings span PreK-12 general education alongside special education, gifted education, career and technical education (anchored by the Edward Bell Career Tech Center), English language learner support, and mental health coordination.

The district's technology stack is built around commercial off-the-shelf platforms: PowerSchool for student information management and parent portal access, HireTrue for staff recruitment, and Blackboard for mass parent communications. Assessment infrastructure includes mCLASS/DIBELS 8th Edition for early literacy, Forefront for early numeracy screening, and Edmentum for mathematics universal screening. Operational systems include Finalsite for the district website, MySchoolBuilding for facility maintenance requests, TripDirect (SchoolDude) for field trip approvals, Frontline Absence (formerly AESOP) for substitute management, TalentEd Records for employee documentation, and Vector Solutions/SafeSchools for staff training compliance. The district is required to administer the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP) suite including ACAP Summative, ACAP Alternate, ACT with Writing, PreACT Secure, ACT WorkKeys, ACCESS for ELLs, and WIDA Alternate ACCESS. A district-wide 1:1 device initiative provides each student with a personal computing device.

TCBOE has no commercial revenue model. As a public school district, it provides tuition-free education funded through federal grants (Title I, Title II, Title IV, Title V), state education funding via the Alabama Foundation Program, and local property tax revenues. The district holds an exclusive geographic mandate as the sole public K-12 provider in Tallapoosa County and operates under mandatory attendance requirements (Alabama Code 16-28-1, ages 6-17). Leadership includes Superintendent Casey D. Davis, a 1993 Dadeville High School graduate who has been employed by TCBOE since 1996, and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Penny Johnson, alongside directors overseeing federal programs, curriculum, facilities, technology, special programs, transportation, nursing services, financial services, and personnel. Strategic community partnerships with Auburn University (Truman Pierce Institute), Central Alabama Community College, Southern Union Community College, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff, and Lake Martin Community Hospital support college readiness, school safety under Title IV, and student health services.
