New Fairhope Public School Commission Named

Fairhope, Alabama


EAC meeting last summer.

EDUCATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISSOLVED

The city council dissolved the city's longstanding Educational Advisory Committee and appointed a new nine-member Fairhope Public School Commission to take over its duties ... as well as those mandated by the terms of last September's successful 3 mil property tax referendum (for special tax district 9).

New school commission members appointed are: Ken Cole, Robert Brown, Robin Coleman,  Carrie McLemore, Tanya Bosarge, Hill Robinson, Miranda Schrubbe, Cornelius Woods, and Danielle Mashburn-Myrick.

Officers will be elected during their first meeting on January 8th, 4:30 PM in the library's board room upstairs.

The commission will decide how to use the revenue from the new tax, beginning next fall.  It will also continue to distribute the usual $300K donation from the city per the terms of the five year K-1 purchase agreement.


EAC FORMED IN 2012

The EAC was formed in 2012 to find ways to "help the cash-strapped Baldwin County School system" at that time - click here.

Over $2 million were distributed to supplement the 5 area schools over that time period, from city utility funds.

Did the City Council release the LinkedIn profiles of those chosen for this financial responsibility? I believe that the taxpayers deserve to peruse the resumes of those who are spending out tax dollars. This tax was not popular and I would love to know that those 'doling the dollars' have their interests in the proper places.
