Welcome to SatsumaSchools.com
Homepage for the Satsuma City School System
On April 12th, 2011, the citizens of Satsuma, Alabama voted to form their own school system.
On April 5th, 2012, a major milestone was reached when we formally separated from the county school system! Click the picture below for more info:

There’s a lot of work to do before the bell rings on the first day of school. This website is an effort to keep our community–the students, parents, teachers, administrators, staff and citizens–informed as much as possible along the journey.
On this site you’ll find information about the Satsuma Board of Education, including member profiles, a meeting schedule, meeting minutes, policies (as they are developed), and more.
Two areas to make special note of:
- The Roadmap to Day 1 – On this page we outline the high level steps of the journey ahead. It is not a simple process to form our own school system, but we are not the first city to take this path. As we work our way through the negotiations and state/federal paperwork, much cannot be discussed until finalized. But this roadmap will at least let you know what has to take place and where we are.
- Questions & Comments – We want to hear from you. We NEED to hear from you! Going through a change like this is exciting, but it is filled with uncertainty. Everyone has questions, and in due time those questions will have solid answers. We want to hear your thoughts and officially answer any questions as fast as possible.
The Board is working hard to get us to the first day of school, and we’re happy to have your support for the road ahead!
Many thanks,
The Satsuma Board of Education
