The 2026-27 calendar announcement lists key student/teacher holidays such as Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Mardi Gras Break and Spring Break. It also lists teacher planning/staff development days and student virtual days.

Board meetings

Mobile County Board of School Commissioners Meetings and Work Sessions

The official Board Meetings page says the Mobile County Board of School Commissioners holds work sessions and regular monthly meetings that are open to the public. MCPSS events also show school-board meetings and work sessions on the district calendar feed.

A district article about the school-board organizational meeting says meetings are open to the public and held in the Board Room of the MCPSS Central Office at 1 Magnum Pass in west Mobile. Always verify the current notice, time and meeting type before attending because work sessions, organizational meetings, special meetings and regular meetings can use different details.

Regular meetings

Use the official Board Meetings page and district events calendar for current dates and times.

Work sessions

Work sessions are listed separately and may be recorded or uploaded through mcpssTV.

Location

Many notices point to the Board Room at MCPSS Central Office, 1 Magnum Pass, Mobile, AL 36618.

Before attending

Check the current meeting notice and documents before driving or preparing public comment.

Public-meeting tip: Board meetings and county commission meetings are not the same thing. For school-system decisions, look for Mobile County Board of School Commissioners / MCPSS.
Documents and public input

Mobile County Board Documents, Agenda Files and Addressing the Board

The MCPSS board-meeting documents page is the best official starting point for board-related files. It includes the School Board document area and an “Addressing the Board” document listing. Use official documents instead of screenshots, forwarded files or third-party summaries.

If you want to speak to the board, attend a high-interest meeting or ask about procedures, check the most recent “Addressing the Board” document and meeting notices first. Avoid sharing private student information, discipline details or health records in a public meeting setting.

Board members

Mobile County Board Members and District Leadership

The MCPSS About page describes the district as governed by the five-member Mobile County Board of School Commissioners. The School Board page should be used for current board-member names, districts, leadership and official board information because roles and terms can change.

Recent official district information lists board members including Lonnie Parsons, Don Stringfellow, Dr. Reginald Crenshaw, Sherry McDade and Johnny Hatcher, and identifies Superintendent Chresal D. Threadgill. Recheck the official board page before contacting or publishing names, because leadership roles can change through board action.

Contact tip: For classroom, bus, enrollment, discipline or attendance issues, start with the school or department first. Board members handle governance and oversight, not every daily school operation.
Office and contact

Mobile County Board of Education Office Address, Phone and Contact Route

Mobile County Public Schools lists its central office at 1 Magnum Pass, Mobile, AL 36618. The main district phone number is 251-221-4000. Use the official Contact Us page when you need district routing, department help or school-system contact information.

Schools

Mobile County Public Schools Directory and School-Level Help

MCPSS has school pages for elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, career tech centers, magnet schools, academies and specialized programs. Use the official Schools menu on mcpss.com to open a specific school page before calling the district office for school-level questions.

School-specific events

Use the individual school page for campus calendars, announcements, athletics, registration dates and staff notes.

Career tech centers

MCPSS highlights multiple career tech centers and career programs for high school students.

Use the Magnet Schools page when applying for magnet programs or checking magnet information.

Parent communication

Use district-approved apps, school pages and official channels instead of unofficial group posts.

Registration

Mobile County Public Schools Registration and Enrollment

The MCPSS Enrollment page says online registration for the 26/27 school year is open and directs families to create an account using the enrolling parent or guardian’s email address. The Registration page says students are handled as new or returning students, and the district has moved to PowerSchool Enrollment for online registration.

School live-feed notices say parents and guardians must complete online registration for each student each school year, and proofs of residence are required and must be uploaded during registration. Proofs are subject to review and approval before enrollment is confirmed.

1

Choose new or returning student

Use the official MCPSS Registration page and pick the correct route for the student’s situation.

2

Create or use the parent/guardian account

PowerSchool Enrollment uses the enrolling parent or guardian’s email for registration access.

3

Upload proofs of residence

Proofs of residence must be uploaded and can be reviewed before enrollment is confirmed.

4

Check the school site too

Individual schools may post registration dates, campus contact details and specific instructions.

Parent portal

PowerSchool Enrollment, Parent Access and Student Grades

MCPSS has moved online registration to PowerSchool Enrollment, and many school pages direct users to PowerSchool for student grades and parent access. Use official MCPSS school or registration pages before entering personal information or login credentials.

If you searched for Mobile County Board of Education login, student grades, PowerSchool, registration portal or parent portal, do not enter credentials on a random third-party page. Start at mcpss.com, your student’s school page, or the official MCPSS registration page.

Login safety rule: Bookmark the official MCPSS registration or school page. Never submit student IDs, custody papers, health records or login credentials through unofficial websites.
Transportation

Mobile County Public Schools Transportation and Bus Route Help

The official Transportation Contact Us page says users needing information about bus routes, requesting a new bus stop or other transportation-related items should contact the Transportation Department through official district channels.

For bus route questions, have the student’s school, grade, address, bus concern and parent contact information ready before calling. Transportation questions are often school-specific and address-specific, so vague messages slow down routing.

Bus issue tip: If a bus stop request, transportation assignment or route issue depends on address, make sure the school has the correct home address and current parent contact details.
Jobs and careers

Mobile County Board of Education Jobs, Substitutes and Salary Schedule

For employment searches such as Mobile County Board of Education jobs, MCPSS teacher jobs, bus driver jobs, paraprofessional jobs, child nutrition jobs, custodial jobs or substitute teacher pay, start with the official Join Team MCPSS page.

MCPSS also provides pages for substitutes, career fairs and salary schedules. The Career Fair page states the district hires for positions including teachers, paraprofessionals, child nutrition workers, bus drivers, custodians and more. Use the official pages instead of applying through copied job posts first.

Departments and staff

MCPSS Departments, Staff and Contact Routing

For classroom issues, start with the teacher or school. For student support questions, use Student Support Services. For website issues, MCPSS provides a website issue reporting page, but it clearly notes that school-related issues should be addressed by contacting the school directly.
