September 2023 Group Watch: State Conducting Feasibility Study on State Health-Science HS
The state will soon know more about the possible construction of a statewide health-science high school near Demopolis, something Governor Ivey proposed during her State of the State address in March. The Legislative Contract Review Committee recently approved a $500,000 contract with a consulting firm to conduct a feasibility study. Under the governor’s proposal, the school will accept students in grades nine through twelve and offer a varied curriculum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as healthcare-based courses. The consulting firm will recommend a site location in November, with the final report complete in January 2024.
