Alabama School District Consolidation Process Amendment

Lean favor

Provisional draft call. The mechanism was checked in the source review; remaining factual checks and uncertainty still matter.

Current assessment

Alabama permits neighboring boards to merge after a published impact study; a 25% protest triggers approval in each affected county and overall.

What still needs an answer

Assess size, transportation and transition costs for any actual proposed merger; no statewide savings estimate assumed.

Source check and limits

Official Amendment 2 statement checked: any affected system's voters can trigger the protest threshold. Process creates an option, not mandatory consolidation or demonstrated savings.
