Baldwin County sends almost $30 million in property taxes to the state, to help other, smaller school systems.

But because of these tough economic times, Baldwin schools says it needs a cut of those funds as well. The school board plans to challenge the state’s equitable funding law. They met with legal council Monday to look at their options.

By next year, Baldwin School officials say the county will pay close to $40 million in equitable funding without seeing a penny. The board plans to make a decision on what plan of action to take before the next legislative session scheduled for February.
