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.

Well yes, but it doesn't have to be within the same school system. The school just has to let you in. They have absolute right off refusal if I'm reading it correctly.

So a small school like Montevallo will bleed students to Thompson which is only about 6 miles up the road and has vastly superior facilities and programs.

Eta: So small schools will just get worse and worse because the better schools will poach the better students.
