Baldwin school officials OK job cuts; specific positions not named - al.com: "BAY MINETTE — The newest round of Baldwin County school system budget cuts was begun Thursday night, but last-minute changes removed any specifics for now.

After a series of cost-cutting measures in recent months, the Board of Education voted 5-1 to enact the second part of a 'reduction in force,' in response to nearly $7.7 million more lost because of statewide proration.

Member Bob Callahan voted no, and member Angie Swiger was absent. The agenda item was at first recommended for deletion, then brought forward for action with no positions attached."
