The Tuscaloosa County Board of Education approved the hiring of Langley at its March 27 meeting.

The CSFO position oversees the school system’s budgeting, financial reporting and compliance, making it one of the most important administrative roles within the district.

Langley is set to officially begin her duties on July 1.

Langley currently serves as CSFO for Muscle Shoals City Schools, a position she has held since 2019.

TCSS says Langley's career in school finance also includes previous service as CSFO for Tuscumbia City Schools and Lauderdale County Schools, along with earlier experience in the finance office for Athens City Schools.

Board of Education President Joey Hocutt cited Langley’s extensive background in school finance in announcing her selection, noting that she is well-qualified to step into the critical leadership role.

Langley will succeed interim CSFO Tina Bolt, a retired finance officer who has been serving in the position during the district’s search process.

The vacancy was created following the departure of former CSFO Mason Primm, who left the system for another job at the end of 2025.
