Mayor Tony Kennon is pushing ahead with his vision for a city school system, promising to fund the project without hitting residents in the wallet.

, promising to fund the project without hitting residents in the wallet.

“So it is not an ad valorem or property tax,” he said. “It’s not a sales tax. It will come off the beach.” “We want to be best in the state of Alabama,” he said. “However, that is a very low bar. We want national recognition. We want to be more than 49th.” The mayor is pushing an aggressive timeline. He said he hopes the council approves his five school board nominees next week. That board quickly would move to hire a superintendent, while city leaders negotiate the final details of the split with the Baldwin County Public School System by July 1. That would allow the new system to be in place in time for the next school year.

Stuart said he believes the transition will be much smoother than the acrimonious secession of the Gulf Shores school system. “So when we disappear , that ratio changes for them to the better,” he said. “And they actually see a bigger paycheck from the state.”
