These days, there is a whole lot of talk about the importance of southern schools in the state of Alabama. The schools are in a terrible state right now, and there is a strong movement to get them back up to par. There have been a number of bills introduced to help the schools, but it is still a long road back. This article is about the first bill introduced that would have done something about schools in Alabama, and it is called the ALEA-AL-SB-10.
The idea for the ALEA-AL-SB-10 is to help schools in Alabama make a more equitable way of governing themselves. There are two primary groups that are the most important in Alabama: the school board and the charter school. The school board is the one that gives the charter school more of its money to help it better understand how to run its school system.
According to the article, the bill was introduced by Alabama GOP senator Jeff Sessions. The bill would have amended the Alabama Educational Act to reduce the number of school districts in Alabama by 2,000 and limit the number of out-of-district charter schools in Alabama to 75. The bill was passed by the state legislature in February, 2013, with passage coming in September, 2013.
Sessions’ bill came as a surprise because at the time it wasn’t something that the Alabama legislature was focused on (the education system was in a “revolving door” kind of way). The bill was sponsored by former state House Speaker Mac McCutcheon, who stated that the bill is a response to the need for more charter schools in the state. McCutcheon stated that the bill is “a step that could help to improve the quality of education in Alabama.
McCutcheon has also said that the need for more charter schools is one of many reasons that the legislature needs to enact a special session. The current session is in the first week of August, and the bill will be introduced in the next few weeks. It will hopefully be passed by the end of the legislative session in mid-September.
Alabama is one of just a handful of states where charter schools are already legal. Alabama is also one of just two states that allow private school vouchers, which could be used by parents who want their children to attend a different school.
A special session is generally designed to consider a bill that is very controversial. It allows lawmakers to do some “heavy-lifting” on a bill without actually voting on it. In this case, the bill would have to be passed by the legislature before any attempt was made to call a special session.
The special session actually happened last Wednesday, April 19, and the bill passed (along with many other things). It passed on a vote of 7 to 1. It was signed by Governor Bentley. He’s one of the most effective governors in Alabama, and this is no small feat. The bill has now been signed into law by President Obama.
I don’t know about you, but I see no reason to expect any changes from the legislature regarding education. This bill has already passed the legislature and was signed into law, and I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it in the future. It’s a simple bill, but it is one that could have a huge impact on education. I’d hate to see so many teachers lose their jobs and have to change their ways.
I think we need to take a moment and talk about the importance of public education to our society. Without public education, our country would not be what it is today. You can’t just sit back and let corporations take over our public schools, and leave the teachers and students to their own devices. I was at the White House when it was announced that the Obama Administration had signed a bill into law.
