The purpose of the program is to utilize the vast amounts of human resources a nd talents of the business community to strengthen, enhance and enrich the quality of education in our 47 public schools of the Tuscaloosa County and City systems. A strong public school system is basic to the health and growth of a community. Quality schools attract people to live in the area.
New businesses locate there to provide services, jobs, and an increased tax base.
The community is a good pla ce to live because the schools are good schools. That is why a quality education is everyone s business. We are fortunate to have the active involvement of seventy businesses, industries and organizations that work directly with specific schools as adopters. This includes such groups as retailers, manufacturers, civic organizations, utility companies, small businesses, financial institutions, restaurants, and medical facilities. The program is flexible.
