Certificate of Recognition

Pike County Schools

Alabama

In the 2023-24 school year this district reported to the United States Department of Education that 252 of its students had been struck. On June 17, 2024 its board adopted the policy below, and that will not happen again.

The Pike County Board of Education prohibits the use of corporal punishment. No person employed by or engaged in the Pike County Schools shall administer corporal punishment upon a pupil. Policy 5.30.1 · Read from the district's own published policy on 2026-09-09

Issued by EarthPilot, an independent project that keeps a public record of which United States school districts permit corporal punishment. This is recognition, not an accreditation, and it is granted on the district's own published policy, which anyone can check: the policy as read. If any of it is wrong, write to us and we will correct the public record.
