New Daphne South school.

 

DAPHNE SOUTH ELEMENTARY 

Site preparation work has begun for a new K-6 school on Corte Road just west of Hwy 181 in south Daphne. 

The Baldwin County Board of Education purchased 106 acres on the northwest corner last year for $3.1 million for a new school to relieve overcrowding at the Belforest School about three miles north, according to previous reports. (A school "transportation facility" is to eventually be built there as well, according to the report.)

Estimated cost for the new building itself to accommodate up to 1,200 students is $35 million.

ALDOT is planning to install a traffic signal for the Hwy 181 intersection as well.

We’re gonna need many more elementary, middle, and high schools here in Fairhope. Do you think any of our leaders have considered having developers pay? Better grab that property before it’s all gone!

Schools are funded by the county and state not fairhope leadership.

Why does Baldwin county school system build schools right next to major roadways? It is a traffic nightmare! St. Michael's is in the best location.
