Alexander City Schools Board of Education members made several announcements Tuesday, including that it will participate in a class-action lawsuit targeting social media companies and a definitive location for the school district's new high school. 

Superintendent Dr. Beverly Price requested the board to approve joining other Alabama school systems in a class-action lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, for the platform’s harmful effects on children.
