On September 12, 2025, ALIEEP finalized the signing of its MOU with Opelika Public Schools. This partnership fosters student cultural understanding, educator recruitment, and professional development in Alabama’s east-central area.   

Dr. Kevin Davis, Superintendent of Opelika City Schools, championed this agreement. He understands ALIEEP’s commitment to expanding multilingual and multicultural education across the state. Dr. Davis supports this vision for educational progress and economic empowerment.   

I am honored to serve as a board member and proud that Opelika City Schools has the opportunity to partner with ALIEEP. This partnership will help support workforce readiness and economic opportunity by aligning our programs with both local and international educational, professional, and economic needs."

ALIEEP welcomes Opelika City Schools to our robust school ecosystem and celebrates Dr. Davis joining our Board of Directors. His addition succeeds Dr. Cristen Herring, Superintendent of Auburn City Schools, who provided invaluable support and access during her six years on the board.   

ALIEEP values your ongoing support in establishing partnerships across Alabama and the world. Our strategic plan of targeting all regions enhances our ability to bridge the gap between international institutions, government agencies, and professionals. ALIEEP continues to pursue the development of a culturally aware population and high-performing educational institutions, supported by qualified educators who are familiar with teaching systems and cultural norms.  

ALIEEP is pleased to have Dr. Kevin Davis, Superintendent of Opelika City Schools, join the ALIEEP Board of Directors. The work ALIEEP does in connecting K-12, higher education, economic developers, international educators, and international businesses is important to Alabama, specifically East Alabama.  Dr. Davis will be a valuable voice on our board as we seek to build a stronger Alabama.”
