Invest in Our Students' Future—Vote YES on May 20, 2025!
Invest in Our Students' Future—Vote YES on May 20, 2025!
We encourage you to vote YES on the upcoming Special School Tax Referendum to continue the existing 9 mill District Ad Valorem Tax, which has been in place since 1946.
This is not a new tax, not an increase, and not an additional tax; it simply continues the current funding that supports the success of our students.
Every dollar stays within Etowah County Schools, directly benefiting our schools, classrooms, teachers, and educational programs.
If you can’t vote on May 20th, please cast an absentee ballot and make your voice heard!
Let's keep investing in our future. Kids win when we vote YES.

Student Device Policy
Student Device Policy:
Students shall not possess any digital device within the testing room when participating in ACAP testing. The possession of a digital device by students participating in ACAP testing is strictly prohibited during the administration of a test. The ONLY exception to this policy is for students who have been pre-approved by the Building Test Coordinator or the Principal to have a digital device that is necessary for the health and/or well being of the student.
If students are in possession of a digital device that is within their reach during the administration of an ACAP test, the device will be confiscated and, if the appropriate administrator determines that there is reasonable suspicion that the device was used to capture, record, or share test information or to facilitate cheating on the test, it may be subject to search pursuant to LEA policy for any information directly related to the ACAP test being administered. Additionally, the student will be dismissed from testing immediately and the test may be invalidated in accordance with ACAP policy. Violation(s) may result in disciplinary action by the LEA in accordance with the LEA's disciplinary policy.
