In its latest step toward possible independence from the Baldwin County Board of Education, the city of Fairhope’s Education Advisory Committee selected Spanish Fort-based Akribos Consulting Group to conduct a feasibility study of three supplemental school funding options, a recommendation that will go before the Fairhope City Council at its Dec. 28 work session.

According to a presentation, Akribos will consider the academic, financial and cultural ramifications of an unchanged system, then compare it to one supported by a proposed special tax district to benefit Fairhope schools as they currently function within the BCBE, or as they may function in a separate, city-governed system.
