The Baldwin County Board of Education has announced a vacancy on the board after Robert Stuart, former District 5 representative, announced he is vacating his seat. The vacancy will be filled by appointment by a majority of the remaining members of the BCBE. The appointee will hold office until the expiration of the current District 5 term in November 2026.
