Barbour County Schools AL: 2026–27 Calendar, Board Meetings & Office Help
For Barbour County families, “Board of Education” searches usually lead to three different jobs: checking the school calendar, finding a district office contact, or confirming a public Board meeting. This guide is for the Barbour County School District in Alabama, not Barbour County Schools in West Virginia.
The district serves students through Barbour County Elementary School in Louisville and Barbour County High School in Clayton. Use the shortcuts below to reach the official calendar, event schedule, schools, departments and Board information without mixing the Alabama district with another Barbour County.
Barbour County Board of Education AL at a glance
2026–27 school year
Students begin Monday, August 10, 2026. The official calendar lists May 25, 2027 as the last student day.
Main district phone
The district publishes 334-775-3453 as its main contact number.
Published mailing address
P.O. Box 429, Clayton, AL 36016 is the mailing address shown across the district website.
Next listed regular Board event
The district Events page currently lists a regular Board meeting on November 9, 2026, 5:30–6:30 p.m.
Wrong-state warning: Barbour County also exists in West Virginia. Alabama’s district uses barbourcountyschools.org, has schools in Louisville and Clayton, and lists P.O. Box 429, Clayton, AL 36016. If your calendar starts August 21, 2026, you are likely looking at the West Virginia district instead.
Barbour County Schools calendar: dates families should mark first
The district’s 2026–27 calendar is the right source for student days, holidays, staff planning days and grading periods. It is separate from the district Events calendar, which is used for Board meetings, school activities and other live events.
| Calendar item | Date | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| First student day | Aug. 10, 2026 | Start of the 2026–27 student year. |
| Labor Day | Sept. 7, 2026 | District communications confirmed schools closed for the holiday. |
| First nine weeks ends | Oct. 7, 2026 | The official calendar’s first grading period ends. |
| Second nine weeks begins | Oct. 13, 2026 | Students move into the second grading period. |
| Thanksgiving holiday | Nov. 23–27, 2026 | Five weekday student closure window. |
| Second nine weeks ends | Dec. 17, 2026 | End of the second grading period. |
| Students return / third nine weeks begins | Jan. 5, 2027 | Student instruction resumes after the winter closure. |
| Third nine weeks ends | Mar. 12, 2027 | End of the third grading period. |
| Fourth nine weeks begins | Mar. 15, 2027 | Final grading period begins. |
| Spring Break | Mar. 22–26, 2027 | Districtwide spring-break week. |
| Last student day | May 25, 2027 | Official calendar lists this as the final student day. |
Calendar detail: the official PDF lists 177 student days. A separate 182-day employee calendar begins August 5, 2026 and ends May 26, 2027, so employee dates should not be confused with student attendance dates.
Open the official district site and choose District Calendars when you need the current PDF or an updated version.
Open Barbour County School District →How Barbour County Board of Education meeting information is published
Barbour County posts Board meeting notices through the district Events page and Live Feed. Recent 2026 notices show regular Board meetings at 5:30 p.m., and July and August notices identified the district Transportation Building at 1400 South Armory Street in Clayton as the meeting location.
The location should still be checked for each meeting. A Board meeting venue is not automatically the same thing as the district’s published mailing address.
Next regular meeting currently listed
The official Events page lists Monday, November 9, 2026 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. as a Barbour County Board of Education Regular Board Meeting.
Check the venue before traveling
July 13 and August 10, 2026 regular-meeting notices identified the BCSD Transportation Building at 1400 South Armory Street, Clayton. Confirm the current notice because locations can change.
Open Events
Use the district Events page for the current meeting date and time.
Check the Live Feed
Meeting notices often add practical details such as the venue and whether the public is invited.
Verify close to the meeting date
Do not rely on an older social post if the district has published a newer notice.
Barbour County Board of Education office contact in Clayton
The district website consistently publishes a mailing address and main phone number rather than a central-office street address on its contact footer. That distinction matters if you are planning an in-person visit.
Before visiting: do not assume the Transportation Building used for some Board meetings is the same as the central office mailing location. Call 334-775-3453 or use the official Contact Us page to confirm where your specific task should be handled.
Barbour County schools: Louisville elementary and Clayton high school
The district’s current site navigation identifies two schools. Families should contact the individual school first for attendance, teacher communication, schedules, student records, school events and campus-specific questions.
| School | Grades / location | Phone | Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barbour County Elementary School | Pre-K–6 • Louisville | 334-266-6151 | 18 Beaty Drive, Louisville, AL 36048 |
| Barbour County High School | 7–12 • Clayton | 334-775-3545 | 165 South Midway Street, Clayton, AL 36016 |
Useful local detail: the district does not list a separate middle school in its current school navigation. Barbour County High School serves grades 7–12, while Barbour County Elementary serves Pre-K–6.
What the Barbour County Board of Education handles
The Board governs the local public school system, while the Superintendent and district departments handle day-to-day administration. Current district communications identify Dr. Jimmie C. Fryer as Superintendent.
For a family task, the fastest route is usually not “contact the Board” by default. Use the school for student-specific questions, Transportation for buses, Human Resources for employment, and the district’s policy or department pages for specialized issues.
Board-level matters
Public meetings, governance, Board policies, district oversight and official Board actions.
District administration
Superintendent, curriculum, finance, federal programs, special education, student services and operations.
School-level matters
Attendance, daily schedules, classroom communication, campus events and student-specific records.
Bus questions and the Barbour County transportation route
The district staff directory lists Pate Harrison as Director of Student Services & Transportation, extension 1011, with the email pate.harrison@barbourschools.org. Current district posts also use that contact for bus-driver recruitment and transportation information.
For a missed bus or stop question: use the current Transportation contact or your child’s school. A Board meeting notice is not the right source for an individual route change.
Barbour County school jobs, Human Resources and staff calendars
The district website separates Job Postings, Human Resources, employee forms, calendars and salary schedules. That makes the HR section the right route for applicants and employees, rather than the Board meeting page.
Current jobs
Use the district’s Job Postings link for active certified and classified vacancies. Old news posts may describe positions that have already closed.
Employee resources
Human Resources links to employee forms, staff calendars and salary-schedule material for current employees and applicants.
Where to go for meals, special education, technology and other school services
Barbour County’s district navigation separates major family services instead of routing everything through the Board. Use the department that matches the task.
Child Nutrition
Use Child Nutrition for meal-program questions. Current district communications say students receive breakfast and lunch at no cost at participating schools.
Special Education
Use the district Special Education office for special-education program questions and student support routes. Keep student details private.
Technology
The Technology department publishes district technology information and staff contacts rather than handling support through public Board meetings.
Board policies are not the same as student records
The district publishes Board Policies and accountability/business documents through its official website. Those public materials are different from a child’s transcript, attendance record, health file or other education record.
Board and district documents
Use Board Policies, accountability reports, business documents and meeting notices when researching district governance or public information.
Student records
For transcripts, attendance, health or student-specific files, contact the student’s school or the appropriate district office. Do not post private records in a public meeting comment.
Privacy reminder: avoid sending student IDs, medical information, disability records, custody documents or other private family information through unofficial websites or public comments.
