It’s time to modernize Alabama’s school funding policy

Alabama’s school funding formula is outdated and does not meet the needs of our students. Right now, many schools and students are not getting the funding they need to be successful and part of thriving communities.

Every child deserves a great school. When we give our public schools the funding and resources they need, it strengthens communities, making them better places to live, work, and raise a family. It’s time to modernize Alabama’s student funding formula to ensure every child has the resources they need to reach their full potential.
