Contents

Communities in the district include Ardmore, Elkmont, Lester, and Mooresville. Some parcels of Huntsville are in the Limestone district. [3]

History

In 2011 the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) informed Barry Carroll, the superintendent, that a parent complained that Bibles had been distributed within the past three months on multiple occasions at one of the district's elementary schools. Carroll said that the allegations were "inaccurate or false." [4]

Student discipline and faculty policies

The district has a zero tolerance policy towards fighting. The minimum punishment for a student is suspension from school. [5]

As of 2005 the school district limits teacher usage of the internet. This occurred after the district discovered employees visiting non-educational websites and paying personal bills online. Meg McCaffrey of the School Library Journal said that the policy makes the job of a school librarian more difficult. [6] Susan Kluger, a librarian at Cedar Hill Elementary School, said that the policy made it more difficult to teach students about internet websites that are safe to visit. [6]
