Bibb County AL Board Meetings, Registration, Schools & Parent Help
The Bibb County Board of Education guide below covers Bibb County School District in Centreville, Alabama. Use it for Board meetings, members, agendas, the district calendar, 2026–27 registration, PowerSchool, ParentSquare, transcripts, transportation, meal payments, student health, special education and employment.
This version also fixes information that can easily become stale: PayPAMS has been replaced for online meal payments, ParentSquare is now part of family communication, and several official pages still display previous-school-year labels that should not automatically be treated as current 2026–27 information.

Wrong Bibb County? This guide covers Centreville, Alabama. Bibb County School District in Macon, Georgia is a completely separate school system with a different website, Board, calendar, schools and contacts.
School or central office?
| Your issue | Best first contact | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Today’s absence / pickup | Student’s school | The school has the current student record. |
| Teacher / classroom issue | Teacher → administrator | Start where the issue occurred. |
| Board agenda / policy | Board / Simbli | These are governance records. |
| Registration | Registration page / school | Private enrollment documents are involved. |
| Bus route / pickup | School / district | The public Transportation page does not publish student-specific route tables. |
| IEP / evaluation | School / Special Education | Student-specific special-education procedures apply. |
The official homepage is the best first check for newly posted systemwide information.
Open official Bibb County Schools →What the current Bibb County homepage reports
Students
Homepage snapshot: 2,850 students districtwide.
Academic Growth
Homepage displays 92.02.
Schools
Homepage currently displays 10 Schools.
Graduation Rate
Homepage currently displays 90%.
School-count mismatch: the homepage says 10 schools, while the dedicated Schools directory currently exposes nine named campus/career-academy links. This guide therefore lists the actual named directory links rather than inventing a tenth campus.
Three updates older Bibb County articles can miss
PayPAMS retired
The current district payment page says Bibb County Schools no longer uses PayPAMS for online meal payments.
LINQ Connect
Current online meal payments are routed through LINQ Connect.
ParentSquare
The district introduced ParentSquare for school, classroom and group communication in March 2026.

Board membership and officer roles can change because of elections, appointments, vacancies or Board reorganization. Verify the current roster before formal correspondence.
Superintendent and central-office contact
For a student-specific attendance, discipline, teacher, health or pickup question, contacting the student’s school first will usually be more efficient than starting with the Superintendent’s office.
How to check the next Bibb County BOE meeting
Planning pattern: the district information verified for the May 2026 version of this guide stated that regular Board meetings were normally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. Treat that as a planning clue—not a guarantee of the next meeting.
Open the current Board page
Do not calculate a meeting date from the monthly pattern alone.
Open Simbli
Use the district-linked agenda system for currently posted meeting business.
Check the meeting type
A regular meeting, work session or special meeting may use different timing or notice.
Confirm before traveling
Recheck the agenda, Board notice and livestream shortly before the meeting.
Why this version does not hard-code the next date: the current indexed Board page provides Board links but does not reliably expose an up-to-date recurring schedule or next-meeting notice in its parsed text. Publishing a guessed date would be less useful than sending users to the live Board/Simbli notice.
Agenda, minutes, livestream or policy?
| Resource | Use it for | Do not confuse it with |
|---|---|---|
| Agenda | What is scheduled for discussion or action. | Proof that an item was approved. |
| Approved minutes | Confirm formal Board action. | A social-media recap. |
| Livestream / archive | Understand discussion and presentations. | The formal written action record. |
| Policy manual | Current Board rules and procedures. | An older handbook or policy PDF. |
Student Handbook rollover: the current Policy page still visibly links the 2025–2026 Student Handbook and Code of Student Conduct. For a 2026–27 discipline, attendance or conduct question, check whether a newer handbook has been posted before relying on the prior year’s document.
Want to address the Board?
The current indexed district pages reviewed for this update do not expose a detailed public-comment sign-up procedure comparable to some larger districts.
Check the current agenda
Look for any public-participation or delegation instructions attached to that meeting.
Check Board policy
Use the current policy manual for meeting-participation rules if provided.
Call before traveling when unclear
The Board office can confirm the current participation procedure at 205-926-9881.
Student privacy: avoid reading confidential education, disability, medical or discipline records aloud in a public meeting when a private school/district process is available.
Use the live Bibb County calendar for current school dates
The current official calendar is a live month-by-month calendar. It can include district events, school activities and other posted dates.
District dates
Use the district calendar for system-level events and currently posted dates.
School events
Use the individual school site for campus-specific activities and announcements.
Recheck
Weather, Board action and local school changes can alter dates.
Why a full 2026–27 date table is not reproduced here: the district’s indexed calendar currently exposes live month views rather than a reliably parsed annual academic-calendar list. This article does not invent first-day, break, exam or last-day dates that could not be verified from a current official annual source.
New student vs returning student registration
New Student
For students new to Bibb County School System, including new Kindergarten students and transfer students.
Returning Student
For students who were enrolled in Bibb County School System during the 2025–26 school year.
Documents requested for enrollment
P.O. boxes are not acceptable. The district says enrollment documents must show the physical residence address and the name of the parent or custodian.
The current registration page provides both English and Spanish links for new and returning students.
Registration workflow
Choose New or Returning Student
Do not use a new-student form simply because the child is starting a new grade.
Prepare documents first
Have residency, birth and immunization documents ready before starting the official process.
Use physical residence information
Make sure utility/residency documents show the address where the student actually resides.
Contact the school if something does not match
Custody, transfer, grade placement or student-record issues may require school-level follow-up.
Protect private information: never submit a birth certificate, Social Security card, custody order, immunization form or residence document through BoardofEducations.org or another unofficial website.
Which Bibb County parent system should you use?
| Tool | Best use | Important detail |
|---|---|---|
| PowerSchool | Grades, attendance and student information. | First-time parent setup requires student Access ID and Access Password. |
| ParentSquare | District, school, classroom and group communication. | Introduced by Bibb County in March 2026. |
| Schoology | Learning-management and classroom content. | Use the district-linked login. |
| Clever | Access approved digital learning applications. | Use Bibb County’s official Clever route. |
| Bibbed App | District alerts, news and quick mobile access. | District mobile-app page links Apple and Android versions. |
| LINQ Connect | Online meal payments. | Current replacement for PayPAMS. |
| Parchment | High-school transcript ordering. | Use the correct BCHS or WBHS link. |
PowerSchool parent setup
Open district-linked PowerSchool
Avoid entering credentials into a login page found only through an unrelated search result.
Create an account if you are a first-time parent user
The school-level official instructions say a parent account is required.
Link your student
Enter the student Access ID and Access Password.
Ask the school for missing codes
The school provides the Access ID and Access Password needed to connect the student.
ParentSquare setup
Order the correct high-school transcript through Parchment
Bibb County High School
Use the dedicated BCHS Parchment route linked from the district parent page.
West Blocton High School
Use the dedicated WBHS Parchment route linked from the district parent page.
Do not assume one high school’s transcript-ordering link applies to the other. Start from the district page and choose the correct school.
Bus route help vs bus-driver employment
The public district Transportation page currently focuses on driver forms, driver training information and the school-bus handbook; it does not expose a detailed public student route table.
Parent route question
For a student-specific stop, missed pickup or route question, start with the student’s school or call the district at 205-926-9881.
Driver employment
Employment guidance directs school-bus-driver applicants to the Transportation Department.
Do not use the driver-recruiting phone number as a guaranteed parent route-help line. The employment page lists 205-926-9611 for bus-driver applicants; parents with a student-route problem should begin with the school or main district office unless a current Transportation notice provides another parent number.
Current substitute bus-driver qualifications
LINQ Connect replaced PayPAMS for online meal payments
Current correction: Bibb County’s payment page says the district will no longer use PayPAMS for online payments. Use LINQ Connect.
Open the district meal-payment page
Its navigation title may still include “PayPams,” but the instructions inside the page direct families to LINQ Connect.
Create or access LINQ Connect
Use the service linked by Bibb County Schools.
Have the student ID
The district says the child’s student ID is needed to register.
Need the student ID?
Contact the student’s school or CNP Department at 205-926-9881 ext. 6019.
Is breakfast and lunch free in 2026–27?
Verify before publishing “yes.” The current Child Nutrition page still displays a graphic that specifically says free breakfast and lunch were available for the 2025–26 school year. That graphic alone does not verify a 2026–27 extension.
Special dietary needs
School nurses, medication forms and health documents
Current health resources include
The Physical Health page also says over-the-counter “as needed” medication should be kept for two weeks only under the cited state guidance. For a specific student’s medication plan, verify the current procedure with that student’s school nurse.
Current school-nurse directory
| School | Nurse | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Bibb County High | Madison Murphy | 205-926-9071 |
| Brent Elementary | Lauren Luker | 205-926-4993 |
| Centreville Middle | Ashley Clark | 205-926-9861 |
| Randolph Elementary | Kelly Burnett | 334-366-2897 |
| West Blocton Elementary | Randi LaFoy | 205-938-9005 |
| West Blocton High | Rachel Taylor | 205-938-9002 |
| West Blocton Middle | Lynn Lee / Yolanda Lawson | 205-938-2451 |
| Woodstock Elementary | Ann Elam | 205-938-2028 |
What a Bibb County school social worker can help with
Bibb County describes school social workers as licensed mental-health professionals who help when social or emotional issues interfere with a student’s education and connect families to longer-term community services when appropriate.
Student concerns
Mental-health needs, coping, peer conflict, school behavior, substance use and excessive absences.
Family needs
Homelessness, food, clothing, domestic violence, healthcare access and community-resource connections.
The district mental-health FAQ says its supports include school social workers, school counselors, RTI supports, Cahaba Medical school-based counseling, crisis intervention and Youth Mental Health First Aid-trained employees.
Special-education referral help and stale-year warning
Official page still says 2024–25. The current Special Education page has not updated the year in its Child Find heading. Do not silently relabel that notice “2026–27.”
The underlying page describes Child Find as a program to locate, identify and evaluate children with disabilities from ages 3–21 and says referrals may be made throughout the school year.
Ages 3–21
Current district Child Find page’s stated school-age range.
Referral timing
The page says referrals can be made at any time throughout the school year.
Birth–2
The district provides a separate early-childhood referral number.
Current-year action: if you need an evaluation or special-education help now, contact the student’s school or Jennifer Downs and ask for the current 2026–27 procedure instead of relying on the old year label.
Current jobs, substitutes and background checks
Current Positions
Use the district’s live Employment Opportunities page.
Bus Drivers
Substitute driver opportunities are currently advertised.
Lunchroom
Substitute Child Nutrition workers are recruited through school CNP managers/principals.

Use the district-linked Tipline for the current reporting route
The district Parents and Students section links a Tipline. The publicly indexed Tipline page does not currently expose enough text to responsibly describe its confidentiality, response time or exact reporting categories.
Do not invent Tipline promises. Use the district-linked system for the current reporting instructions. For an immediate emergency or imminent danger, use the appropriate emergency response rather than waiting for a routine website report.
Can’t access a Bibb County webpage or document?
The district says its webpages and website content should conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and provides a route for reporting inaccessible digital content.
Copy the exact URL
Identify the webpage or document you cannot access.
Describe the accessibility problem
Explain what prevented you from accessing the content.
Include contact information
This allows the district accessibility team to follow up.
Time-sensitive issue?

Common Bibb County problems and what to do next
💳 My old article says PayPAMS
Fix: use LINQ Connect. The district says PayPAMS is no longer used for online payments.
📣 ParentSquare is missing from an old guide
Fix: Bibb County introduced ParentSquare in March 2026 for family communication.
📝 I don’t know which registration form to use
Fix: new-to-district students use New Student Registration; students enrolled during 2025–26 use Returning Student Registration.
🏠 My proof only shows a P.O. box
Fix: the district requires a physical residence address; P.O. boxes are not accepted.
🔐 PowerSchool won’t show my child
Fix: obtain the student Access ID and Access Password from the school and link the student to your parent account.
🎓 I need a transcript
Fix: use the Parchment link for the student’s actual high school—BCHS or WBHS.
🚌 I need my child’s exact bus stop
Fix: contact the school or district; the current public Transportation page does not publish detailed student route tables.
🍎 Are meals free in 2026–27?
Fix: verify the current year. The district’s current free-meal graphic still specifically says 2025–26.
🧩 Child Find says 2024–25
Fix: contact Jennifer Downs or the school and ask for the current 2026–27 Child Find/evaluation procedure.
📘 The handbook says 2025–26
Fix: check the Policy page for a newer 2026–27 Student Handbook before applying old conduct rules.
🗓️ I need the next Board meeting
Fix: check Simbli/current Board notice instead of assuming the normal second-Tuesday pattern has not changed.
🏫 Homepage says 10 schools but directory lists 9
Fix: use the named live directory links. Do not invent an additional campus.
📍 I landed on Macon, Georgia
Fix: return to bibbed.org and confirm Centreville, Alabama.
♿ I cannot access an official PDF/page
Fix: use the Bibb County accessibility process and call 205-926-9881 for a time-sensitive problem.

Final Bibb County verification checklist
Verification scope: this article was re-audited August 15, 2026 against the current Bibb County Schools homepage, Board Members, Superintendent, Board/Policy resources, district calendar, 2026–27 Parents and Students registration page, PowerSchool parent instructions, ParentSquare rollout information, Transportation, Employment Opportunities, LINQ Connect meal-payment instructions, Child Nutrition documents, Physical Health, School Nurses, School Social Worker, Special Education/Child Find, Finance, Accountability, Public Notices, Accessibility and Schools directory.
Independent-site notice: BoardofEducations.org is not Bibb County Schools or the Bibb County Board of Education. Official Board actions, school calendars, student systems, enrollment decisions, meal-payment instructions, transportation information, health procedures and emergency notices always take priority.
