State official: Budget blame falls on Baldwin school board - al.com: "BAY MINETTE — Baldwin County's school board exacerbated the system's financial crisis by failing to chop deeply enough into its workforce when the state warned of declining revenues, according to one state official.

Baldwin Superintendent Faron Hollinger disputed the claim and said that the system worked with state education staffers and began cuts in January 2008 after receiving warnings three months earlier."
