Mountain Brook and Vestavia are basically private schools as it is, with local property taxes going to the school systems. Why would they be affected at all?


Just read the fine print. I mistakenly thought that schools would be forced to participate. Apparently they have to opt in. Vestavia and Mt Brook won't do that. They already experienced a version of this in the 80s and 90s with the bussing and forced integration and didn't like it.

Shelby Co is probably going to be crazy though. Lot of small schools will lose students to Thompson, Pelham, and Oak Mtn.

Only one of those is actually in the Shelby Co. school district. Guess I need to read the bill, but I don't see how exactly they can add a ton more students from the outer reaches of the county without the infrastructure to handle it.
