Our Mission

Educational and legislative strategies and priorities guide the Alabama Black-Belt Children’s Region superintendent’s alliance. The formation of the Alabama Black-Belt Children’s Region is in response to the systemic and chronic low-academic achievement levels of black public school students in Alabama’s traditional seventeen Black-Belt Counties: Barbour, Bullock, Butler, Choctaw, Crenshaw, Dallas, Greene, Hale, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Russell, Sumter, and Wilcox.

​

The alliance will use the guiding strands to work collaboratively with aligned strategies and priorities to improve academic learning outcomes for black, public-school students in the Black-Belt and determine and chart a path forward for legislative advocacy for differentiated funding, resources, and support for Black-Belt county districts and schools.
