MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama House and Senate are divided over
whether a school flexibility bill should include flexibility with
teacher tenure laws.
The House passed a bill Feb. 14 to allow city and
county school systems to have flexibility in complying with state
education laws, including tenure. The Senate rewrote the bill Thursday
to exclude tenure. The House refused to go along with the Senate's
changes and sent the bill to a six-member conference committee to try
working out the differences.
The executive secretary of the Alabama Education Association, Henry Mabry, says the teacher group supports the Senate's version.
The bill grants city and county school boards
flexibility in complying with many state education laws provided they
get approval from the state school superintendent and state school
board.
