BAY MINETTE, Ala. (WKRG)-- Baldwin County Schools will not re-open until at least September 30th, according to a letter sent to parents Monday morning. "If everything goes as planned, I expect we will welcome back students on Wednesday, September 30. Prior to returning students to school, we will hold two teacher workdays to get our classrooms and our lesson plans back on track," Superintendent Eddie Tyler said in the letter.

Tyler says many of the schools are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sally and that they cannot open any of the schools until they can open all of them, "I spent Sunday afternoon meeting with senior staff and I believe we will need some time to get our buildings safe for children to return. We live in a very large county. Power may be on in your area and your school may not have any damage, but we cannot open schools unless all schools can open. Our pacing guides, state testing, meal and accountability requirements are based on the system, not individual schools."
