Hartselle City Schools administrator wins award
Jun. 19—Hartselle City Schools Secondary Curriculum Coordinator Josh Swindall was recognized with the Alabama ACCESS Administrator of the Year Award.
ACCESS, which stands for Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educations and Students Statewide, is a virtual learning program that provides students with opportunities to take courses not otherwise offered at their school.
Each year, the Alabama State Department of Education recognizes an administrator, counselor, facilitator, teacher and student of the year for their work with ACCESS. Swindall received the award Wednesday at the Alabama Educational Technology Conference in Mobile.
HCS Superintendent Brian Clayton said teacher Wynette Orr was also recognized with the ACCESS regional award for facilitators for her work with its Academy program.
"It signifies the level of excellence that Hartselle City Schools continues to provide," Clayton said. "Whether we want to talk about online classes or face-to-face classes, I think there's a high level of expectation in Hartselle, and our employees do their best to try to meet that standard, and I think it is widely recognized through the state."
