Fairhope, Alabama
ONLY SIX APPLICANTS SO FAR
The number of applicants for the proposed Education Advisory Committee, intended to look at ways the city could help local schools in hard financial times, has been disappointing so far (only six); and the council is again asking for anyone interested to file their applications with the city clerk (forms available from the city's website).
The committee is to consist of six members, plus councilmen Stankoski and Kingrea.
Councilman Kingrea said he understood the group that had first proposed the committee was to solicit more applications.
Council President Mixon said the committee is still in need of a "mission statement" as well.

Comments
One of the hundreds of reasons the Fairhope City Council has absolutely no business proposing, managing, or running a school system.
to the uninformed: this committee is not about forming a school system. you need to keep up with current events.
This committee recommendation was made by Good2Great, the council representatives are on record as being supportive of the Good2Great initiative, the timing of this whole episode is highly questionable - trying to pull it off during the holidays when people are distracted.
Any you want to to believe there isn't a hidden agenda?
Who is uninformed now?
That document was provided to me by Lonnie Mixon.
The majority of people on that list were Good2Great supporters (many on their board, their leadership team or the advisory committee). I know this because I took the time to check it against their website.
Now, you can believe that Good2Great will not be strongly represented on this committee if you want to.
As for me, I'm paying attention to what is going on here. And I don't plan to let this group of elitist thugs take over our schools.
i've seen it happen in Ohio. no turning back now though.
