FOLEY - Last year was trying to everyone. It’s no different for Baldwin County Public Schools, which faced unprecedented challenges during the 2020/21 school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, brick and mortar schools in the county remained opened. Students and parents had the choice to attend school virtually or in person. New schools continued to open.
None of this went unnoticed. Through criticism and lessons learned on the go, the Baldwin County Board of Education persevered. For the efforts put forth by Superintendent Eddie Tyler and his staff, the Foley mayor and council held a reception in Tyler’s honor on Monday, April 19.
While many schools stayed shuttered, Baldwin County opened on time and stayed open gulfcoastnewstoday.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from gulfcoastnewstoday.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
