The Baldwin County ACT-II/Path-to-Peace Minority Teachers Initiative is helping get the word out about the upcoming Baldwin County Teacher Fair.
In 2016 minorities made up 6.6% of the county teachers. Today that number is 8.19%. Minorities made up 11.17% of the new hires last year.
Baldwin County is hoping for even greater improvements, this year, starting with a record number of minority applicants at the Teachers Fair.
The initiative is also offering a Minority Educator's Scholarship to qualifying high school seniors or Baldwin County natives who are education majors in college.
They must be a recognized minority, entering the education field and willing to agree to return to Baldwin County to teach. Five $1,000 scholarships are available. The application deadline is April 15.
