The Bibb County Board of Education held a meeting on February 20, 2025, where several key recognitions and discussions took place. The meeting began with a series of commendations for students and staff, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the district.

The first notable recognition was for students from Springdale Elementary School who participated in Georgia's Beta Convention. Several students excelled in various competitions, earning spots to compete at the national level in Orlando this summer. The following students were acknowledged for their achievements: John Thomas Long, Cooper Hollis, Mason Echo Hawk, and Oliver Purvis, who secured first place in musicology; John Thomas Long, Cooper Hollis, Dylan Floyd, and Boone Stanfield, who won first place in quiz bowl; Ruby Ballard, who placed fourth in jewelry; Lila Milton, who also placed fourth in cake decorating; and Baxter James, who earned fifth place in solo instrumentalist.

Following the student recognitions, the board honored Tangie Hartnett, the athletic director of Northeast High School. Hartnett was recognized as the Region 2A Division 1 Athletic Director of the Year for her exemplary leadership within the Raiders athletic program. The board expressed gratitude for her hard work and dedication, which often goes unnoticed, as she manages various administrative and logistical tasks for the school's athletic teams.

After the recognitions concluded, the meeting proceeded to the invitation for visitors to address the board, allowing community members to share their thoughts and concerns.

Overall, the meeting showcased the accomplishments of students and staff within the Bibb County School District, emphasizing the district's commitment to recognizing excellence and fostering a supportive educational environment.
