Funding Crisis

Video:  Principal Don Blanchard Discusses the Funding Crisis

Thank you for your interest in the children of Baldwin County. Students in our county have the most to lose if the penny tax does not pass. We have developed this section of our web site to assist you in understanding the critical issues at hand. Here are the major points:

• The penny tax referendum will be March 23, 2010. The wording on the ballot specifies that it is a temporary tax that will run for only 36 months. Officials have to abide by the time limitation specified.
  
  
• A one penny or one percent sales tax equals one dollar for every one hundred dollars spent or about the cost of a bottled water or pack of crackers.
  
  
• 100% of the penny tax will stay in Baldwin County. It will NOT become part of "equity funding" or the "10 mil match".
