Superintendent Jones resigns from Greene County Schools; accepts superintendency of Dallas County Schools
In a called emergency meeting of the Greene County Board of Education, Wednesday, August 27, 2025, Superintendent Dr. Corey Jones submitted his resignation to the board, effective September 30, 2025. Since that meeting, the State Department of Education (SDE) has released information that Dr. Jones has been asked to assume the superintendent’s leadership role of the Dallas County School System, which has been taken over by the SDE Intervention due to financial difficulties within that School System. Following an executive session, Board President, Mr. Leo Branch, asked Superintendent Jones if he had a statement for the board. Dr. Jones read a prepared statement reflecting on the privilege of having served as superintendent of the Greene County School System for the past six years. He cited several accomplishments during his tenure including renovations to the central office; new roof and flooring at Eutaw Primary School; new HVAC system, new windows, new press box at Robert Brown Middle School; the launch of Phase I Sports Complex at Greene County High School. Jones stated that during his tenure “Greene County has achieved its highest report card score from the Alabama State Department of Education since the introduction of the Accountability Report Card. Preliminary data indicates an even higher score in the upcoming releases this fall.” Dr. Jones concluded his remarks stating, “It is with a heavy heart that I submit my resignation…I am fully committed to supporting the transition process in any way I can.” Present Branch called for action on the superintendent’s resignation. Board member Veronica Richardson moved to accept Jones’ resignation; Board Member Brandon Merriweather seconded the motion. Richardson, Merriweather and Dancy voted in the affirmative. Mr. Leo Branch registered a resounding No. Board members Robert Davis did not vote on the motion. Dr. Jones’ current contract with the Greene County Board was for two years, which had been approved on a split 3-2vote, with reportedly some controversy. He was in the first year of the new contract. Dr. Jones has been commended by the State Board of Education for maintaining Greene County School System’s strong financial accountability and reserves. The school system has had ‘clean’ audits’ for multiple years. Jones leadership was noted for his handling of the ESSER Grants during the COVID-19 crisis. To support schools and districts in addressing the impact of COVID-19, Congress provided financial support through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund. Funds were allocated to each state in the same proportion as their Title I, Part A grants. Greene County received over $3 million in grants, which Jones used for safety and academic enhancements for student learning on and off school sites, including additional reading and Math coaches; home delivery of student meals; capital improvements and other school services. Throughout Jones’ tenure as superintendent, the school system has shown improvements in student learning, including an expanded Career Center Curriculum, a highly successful student debate team; increased exposure for students through academic field trips and college and university visits; modernized cafeteria equipment and services. In compliance with the Alabama Literacy Act, 3rd grade scholars must score at a designated proficiency level before advancing to the 4th grade level. In Greene County, nearly all 3rd graders have been successful in meeting this criteria. The few who fell short, were enrolled in summer classes to prepare to retake the test and advance to the next grade. As of this writing, no interim superintendent has been named.
In its second Budget Hearing, held Tuesday, September 10, 2024, the Greene County Board of Education approved the system’s FY 2024-2025 proposed annual budget with projected revenues of $16,258,410 and expenditures of $16,151,057, which must be submitted to the State Department of Education by September 15. The budget decrease of approximately $5 million is due primarily to the exhaustion of the multi-year ESSER funds appropriated through the Congressional CARES ACT (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act) to support school districts in addressing the impact of COVID 19. Board members present included Mr. Leo Branch, Mr. Robert Davis and Ms. Veronica Richardson.
The system currently has 145 employees, a decrease of 20 from the previous year. State earned units support 82.33 personnel; other state funds support 31.51 personnel; federal funds support 24.49 and local funds support 6.72 – totaling 145.05 school personnel.
