From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gulf Shores City Schools (GSCS), also known as Gulf Shores Board of Education (GSBOE), is a school district headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama in the United States.

As of 2021 it had about 2,500 pupils.[1]

History

[edit]

Previously Gulf Shores was in the Baldwin County School District. In 2017 all members of the Gulf Shores city council voted to establish the city's own school system.[2] In 2019 the Baldwin County district and Gulf Shores made a formal agreement for Gulf Shores to separate.[3]

On June 1, 2019 the school district formally started its operations. This made it the first school district to separate from the Baldwin County district.[4]

The school district was scheduled to begin operations in 2019.[5] The anticipated initial enrollment was 2,250.[6]
