Our call — vote NO
The measure
Amendment 2 is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It would establish a process for consolidating two or more county school districts in Alabama. The published summary describes the process itself; it does not itself merge any named districts.
What YES does
A YES vote creates the constitutional process by which county districts could be consolidated, under whatever steps and approvals that process prescribes.
What NO does
A NO vote leaves no such consolidation process in the constitution, keeping county district boundaries and structures as they are unless changed by other law.
The math
No fiscal effect — savings from shared administration or costs of merging systems — was published in the sources consulted. Consolidation economics depend entirely on which districts, if any, ever use the process, so no statewide figure can honestly be printed.
OUR CALL
Our call: no call.
This is a procedural framework, not a consolidation itself. Whether a future merger saves money or strips a community of its local school identity depends on the districts involved and the safeguards used — facts no voter can see in this text. We make no call and urge voters to judge any actual consolidation when one is proposed.
