Neill, a couple Trussville City Schools principals and Trussville City Board of Education member Sid McNeal heard Bice speak Sept. 4 at G.W. Carver High School in Birmingham.
McNeal said he found Bice’s presentation “very interesting.” He called him an “outstanding” speaker.
“I think he has a lot of courage,” McNeal said. “He certainly speaks his mind.”
Interim Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Beth Bruno also said Bice was “courageous.”
Hewitt-Trussville High School Principal Tim Salem said Bice’s key points were innovation, student engagement and positive reinforcement.
“He’s a teacher,” Salem said. “It was really nice to sit back and listen.”
