To comply with the Alabama Accountability Act (AAA), a list of failing schools is expected out this week. A failing school is one that is "persistently low-performing, as determined by the State Department of Education." The law lets parents collect tax credits if they move their child from a failing public school to a private school or a non-failing public school. A late change in the law added that a school system does not have to accept a student who wants to move from a failing school. Now, Dr. Bice said the U.S. Department of Justice had been in contact with him last month regarding this particular provision. Talk about confusion. Do you think this aspect of the AAA is good for the state of Alabama students and families?
