Beavers 416 Swann Bridge Road Hayden, AL 35079 2 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Blount County Board of Education and Blount County Education Association recognize that their mutual aim is to provide a quality education for students in the Blount County School System. It is the policy of the Blount County Board of Education that no person shall on the basis of race, color, handicap, sex, religion, creed, national origin, or age be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, employment. The Board and the Association further recognize that the substance of such education depends primarily upon the quality and morale of the teachers and the staff. These policies were formulated by a committee of eight teachers and principals and a committee of twelve students, representing the six high schools within the system. These groups served as advisory committees to the Superintendent. After study, the Superintendent recommended to the Blount County Board of Education that these policies be adopted. The Board gave formal approval in a special meeting on July 29, 1974. STATEMENT AND NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATION The Blount County Board of Education hereby notifies all applicants for employment, students, parents, employees, and the public at large that this school system does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in admission or access to, or employment, or treatment in its programs and activities. Any person having inquiries concerning Blount County Board of Education's compliance with the regulations implementing Title VI, Title IX, Section 504 or the Americans with Disabilities Act is directed to contact the person who is designated as the compliance officer. The name, telephone number, and address of this officer is available by contacting the office of the Blount County Board of Education. (Added June 3, 1996) 3 POLICY REVISAL PROCEDURE The development of sound educational policies is a complex and continuous process.

I was scrolling through social media the day the law was passed in New York. My heart broke as I read posts declaring our country has taken another bold step in the direction of complacency. A step taken so that everyone is made to feel good and no one gets their feelings hurt. “For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them” Proverbs 1:32.

  • Alabama's Secretary of State Office
    ALABAMA HISTORY THE GREAT SEAL ALABAMA’S Thousands of years before European explorers found the land now known as Alabama, it was inhabited by Native Americans. Spanish explorer Alonso Alvarez de Pineda sailed into SECRETARY Mobile Bay in 1519, making the Spanish flag the first of six that would fly over Alabama.- Un der the vague terms of the 1697 Peace of Ryswick, the French claimed that La Salle’s explora- tions entitled them to a portion of the New World, including Alabama. Pierre Le Moyne (Sieur OF STATE d’Iberville) and a group of colonists set up a temporary settlement on Dauphin Island in 1699. The French established Fort Louis on the Mobile River in 1702. After defeating the French in OFFICE 1763, the British took control of French holdings in Alabama, making the British Union Jack The Secretary of State is the sole the third flag to fly over the area. Spain supported the colonies in the American Revolution, custodian of the Great Seal of Alabama. after the war claimed British holdings. However, the British used Mobile as a port during the Use of the Great Seal is controlled by War of 1812. That action prompted the United States to seize the southernmost area of the state law, and only a few staff members state in 1813, making the American flag the fourth to fly over Alabama. within the Secretary of State’s Office Congress passed an enabling act in March 1819, allowing residents in Alabama to write a have permission to affix the seal to doc- constitution and apply for statehood.

  • Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876
    "A people peculiarly blessed": Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876. Marian Crenshaw Austin Submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies University of East Anglia June 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis explores nationalism, state identity and community through the lens of one Southern planter family. The Crenshaw family are traced from their origins in Virginia, to South Carolina and thence to Alabama Territory during the first wave of migration between 1816 and 1819. Establishing a strong kinship community upon migration, they fostered an identity with their new state which superseded that of American or Confederate identity. Employing genealogy as a research methodology to enhance the understanding of kinship networks, within the framework of a detailed analysis of the Crenshaw family’s archive, this research demonstrates how familial power dynamics created and redefined their identity as Alabamians, Southerners and Americans. Employing the framework of national vs. local identity, this project reflects on the relative importance of localism over and above national loyalty and the possibilities for localism superseding national identity prior to the Civil War and beyond. Planters, lawyers and politicians, the Crenshaws belonged to the planter elite and as such accrued significant land and wealth, including a large community of enslaved people.
