The system employs approximately 920 personnel with more than half comprising the instructional team. Others work in student support services to transport students to school safely, serve nutritious meals, provide community school programs, and maintain a clean, safe environment for learning. Principals function as the instructional leader of the schools with an emphasis on local decision making. Teachers, support personnel, and administrators are carefully chosen. The school system employs only the most capable personnel to ensure outstanding school programs.
Most teachers have a master degree and some principals hold an earned doctoral degree.
High quality support staff is one characteristic of our first rate school system. Counselors, media specialists, special education teachers, instructional assistants, resource teachers support the students and work as a team to help children achieve their goals. Specialists in art, physical education, and computer instruction are employed in the schools. The Pittard School of Technology and Genesis Alternative School are available for students with special needs and talents. The Talladega County Teacher Center provides teachers and parents educational resources and hosts numerous staff development activities.
