Orange Beach is poised to be Alabama’s next city school system after approval of split from Baldwin County Schools.
The Orange Beach split was approved following a smoother, and rapid process. The separation agreements were voted on less than two months after the Orange Beach City Council voted unanimously for the formation of a city school system.
The separation is set to take place on July 1 and is contingent on the approval of Alabama State Superintendent Eric Mackey. Orange Beach city and Baldwin County schools’ officials are confident there will not be any last-minute problems. The approximately 130 employees currently working at Orange Beach will be allowed to keep their jobs and their tenure automatically transfers. If future Orange Beach city school employees want to remain with the Baldwin County School System, they will have to apply for a position. Salaries will be no less than what the employees were earning at the county school system.
*All student and teacher MacBooks currently assigned to Orange Beach will be retained by the county. The city will receive $600 per device to purchase new computers/laptops.The Baldwin County School Board meets on Thursday, May 5, 2022, in Loxley, Ala. .
