Alabama education legislation and policy. We break it down, so you don't have to. Advocacy goes beyond supporting or opposing a position. Alabama's school boards are expected to use their voice to translate for state policymakers the diverse needs and challenges of public education in their communities. AASB's AI Host, "Allie", gives a brief audio breakdown of what you need to know each week of the session— including which bills we're tracking and what they mean for Alabama school systems.
