The neighborhoods of Dunmore and Old Field are petitioning the Baldwin County Board of Eduction to grandfather in current students to the Fairhope school system when the neighborhoods are rezoned. Our children deserve the opportunity to finish their education at the school system they have been attending. It is vital to their emotional and educational well-being.

The Board of Education has begun reviewing our formal request regarding the rezoning of Dunmore and Old Field. I am currently compiling testimonials from affected families to present during the upcoming public hearing. Your commitment to ensuring our students can finish their education in their current schools remains the primary motivation for these efforts.

My kids are in 2nd and 5th grade, I would hate to move them from their schools for one year before they would transition to the Intermediate/Middle schools. Fairhope school district was the reason we bought in Dunmore!!!!
As someone who had to move around schools frequently due to the military, I could only imagine the day-to-day situations that each individual family is going through. Adolescence has enough instability, please allow the children already solidified in their schooling to go forward into Fairhope.
We bought our house in Oldfield so that our children could attend Fairhope schools. I grew up in Fairhope and graduated from there myself. It is very important to me for my children to grow up in such a wonderful community and graduate from there as well.
We bought our home in 2013 because the flags were flying outside that it was in Fairhope School District. It means so much to the families in our communities to be able to stay with the kids that they have bonded with since they started school. Please don’t take this away from them.
A lot of people purchased in these neighborhoods for their kids to attend Fairhope schools, I know we did. Got 1 that has been attending since 2013 and another starting in 2019. It doesn’t seem like the best thing for the kids to be uprooted and moved.
We purchased our house for the Fairhope School system. Please do not rezone!
I purchased my home in Dunmore with Fairhope schools being a major factor in the decision. I sincerely hope that the school board will recognize that our students need to stay in their schools.

I work in south Fairhope, and the school district was a major factor when we chose our home just 2 years ago. My high schooler is in the FHS Marching Band and his little sister (kindergarten) is already talking about how she's going to grow up to march in the Fairhope band just like her big brother. If she ends up in the Belforest zone, I won't be able to pick her up from after school care without leaving work early. If she later attends DHS, I won't be able to get her to practice. It would be a major transportation issue for our family! If nothing else, let those of us already in the FHS feeder pattern remain there!
