MPS Board Meeting | 8-12-2025

001Hello MPS teachers, educators, and staff. As governor and a proud supporter of Montgomery public schools, I want to take a moment to say thank you. You might not know this about me, but I was a teacher once, too. So, I get it. Each day you step into your classrooms, your offices, your cafeteria, and your buses, not knowing what the day may bring. And you still show up ready to work and ready to make a difference. You may not wear capes, but make no mistake, you are heroes. This year, as you welcome students back and help them dream bigger, be kinder, and work harder, know that Alabama is behind you. And while I often say that strong students lead to a strong Alabama, the truth is those students are shaped by you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Let's make this a great school Here. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Good evening. Welcome to the Montgomery County Board of Education board meeting. Today is August 12th, 2025. Uh the time is now 5:00 p.m. As you all can see, I am not uh Mrs. Smith, our president. She is on the road to take her daughter to college. We wish her and all of our seniors that are moving on to their next phase of life godspeed. We wish you prosperity, peace, and wellness as you travel to your next phase. Now we'll have joining us um Reverend Marcus Plump from New Liberty Worship
