History
In 2011 the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) informed Barry Carroll, the superintendent, that a parent complained that Bibles had been distributed within the past three months on multiple occasions at one of the district's elementary schools. Carroll said that the allegations were "inaccurate or false."Miller, Joshua Rhett. "Claims That Bibles Were Distributed to Alabama Elementary Students Are Inaccurate, School Superintendent Says."

Student discipline and faculty policies The district has a zero tolerance policy towards fighting. The minimum punishment for a student is suspension from school.Reid, Tim. . WAAY-TV. March 18, 2013.

The minimum punishment is suspension."
As of 2005 the school district limits teacher usage of the internet. This occurred after the district discovered employees visiting non-educational websites and paying personal bills online. Meg McCaffrey of the School Library Journal said that the policy makes the job of a school librarian more difficult.McCaffrey, Meg. "AL Schools Curb Teacher Internet Use". School Library Journal. February 1, 2005. Retrieved April 3, 2013. Susan Kluger, a librarian at Cedar Hill Elementary School, said that the policy made it more difficult to teach students about internet websites that are safe to visit.
