At Monday's Council meeting, Committee Chairperson Quinn gave an update on the study --to determine the feasibility of Fairhope forming its own school system.
"The Committee has not seen or heard any final analysis of the Fairhope School Feasibility study and we are all looking forward to discussing the study and its findings with Dr. Harvey and the Council. The Baldwin County School System is in dire financial condition....the future of our community’s children depends on us being knowledgeable and deliberative in coming to conclusions about what is good for all of Fairhope."
"When the study was not completed by the end of the school year...first part of May...due to the shortage of county staff to gather the information needed, correct discrepancies in some of the county reports and some technical/legal questions that had to be answered, we asked Dr. Harvey not to rush his conclusions. With school out, families on vacation, the Oil Crisis in the Gulf, the statewide elections and subsequent run-off elections, and a new BCBE Superintendent, we felt it would be better to wait than to release a report that no one listened to."
“We are looking forward to hearing from Dr. Harvey within the next month.”
