[edit] School policies

The Baldwin County Board of Education requires all students in the system to wear similar school uniforms.[4] Individual school principals are allowed to deviate from the regulation for certain events.

The Board annually revisits the school attendance zones as rapid growth in Baldwin County frequently forces changes in order to prevent overcrowding in schools.

The system also conducts random drug testing on all high school campuses.[1]

The school board states that it regards good discipline as extremely important to the total school program. Corporal punishment is administered if other disciplinary measures prove ineffective. Swats are administered to the student's buttocks with a paddle "or facsimile thereof".[5]
