📰 News we're reading
• Russellville City Schools to dismiss early Friday for football playoff game (rocketcitynow.com) — Russellville City Schools will dismiss students at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, giving families extra travel time for the Golden Tigers' playoff game in Birmingham. Russellville High faces A.H. Parker in the second round, and the district says the earlier departure accounts for the distance and expected traffic. 
• 2006 amendment means millage funding for Franklin County Schools will not change (franklinfreepress.net) — Russellville voters helped carry a countywide school-tax renewal despite opposition outside city limits, preserving a levy shared by both school systems. Franklin County Schools also will retain funding despite a separate tax renewal's defeat, its superintendent says, because of a 2006 constitutional amendment. The state will handle that funding instead of the county.
