Ala. Code §§ 16-28A-1 through -5 (1975), requires each local board of education to develop a written policy on student discipline and behavior. Pursuant to this statute all teachers and administrators in each classroom are expected to maintain order and discipline and are thereby given the authority and responsibility to use appropriate means of discipline, up to and including corporal punishment, consistent with local board of education written policies. Ala. Code § 16-1-24.1 (1975) requires local boards to adopt and make available to all teachers, school personnel, students, and parents/guardians, at the beginning of the school year, a code of student conduct developed in consultation with teachers, school personnel, students, and parents/guardians. The code shall include, but not be limited to, specific grounds for disciplinary action and procedures to be followed for acts requiring discipline. Consistent with these state laws, corporal punishment should only be administered in compliance with a written discipline policy adopted by a local board of education.

32. Alabama School Boards - Removing Channel One To Members of Local boards of education in alabama. From Jim Metrock,President of Obligation. Subject Removing Channel One From Your Schools. http://www.obligation.org/alabamaboardmember.html

To: Members of Local Boards of Education in Alabama From:: Jim Metrock, President of Obligation Subject: Removing Channel One From Your Schools A previous board signed a contract with Channel One. Now you have to deal with this decision. Your schools can no longer maintain this contract and still pursue excellence in education. Channel One is too expensive. Oh, it's free to you, the board member and it's free to your teachers, but your board makes the children pay the rent on the television equipment. Yes, you are renting TV sets from Channel One and that doesn't make any sense. Not when you have to sacrifice an hour of school time each week - forever. Your board should vote to end the Channel One contract. Your board attorney should write a letter to Channel One stating that the contract is over. Have your board attorney or your superintendent call Obligation at 205.822.0080. We can help your attorney decide on whether the school should claim the equipment. Channel One has openingly breached the contract for years and the contract could be considered a sham. Also, there is evidence that Channel One in the Mid Atlantic states allows schools to keep the TV network after showing the program for six years.

How We Learn Together Learn Together Grow Together Live Together Work Together ... Play Together How We Learn Together Relates to goals on education curriculum and instruction financing public services facilities and mentoring and tutoring 1. Curriculum and Instruction Our Goal : A region that emphasizes the importance of quality education, offers programs and opportunities for students of all ages and abilities, provides sufficient financial support, sets the highest curriculum standards and hires teachers and administrators who are trained, motivated and qualified in their subject. Its safe neighborhood schools have earned the trust and support of the community and teachers' and students' performance achievement is celebrated. Recommended Strategy : Work with boards of education to develop quality standards for recruitment, selection and evaluation of teachers and administrators by forming a panel that is knowledgeable about research-based criteria in order to develop standards for teachers and administrators to receive continuing professional development and education, including summer programs and mentoring, and to provide them with opportunities to observe and learn from the best practices throughout the country. Recommended Action to Begin Implementing the Strategy : Identify and convene a task force, to include local education agencies, teachers, representatives from teacher education colleges and universities, professional teacher development experts and other relevant agencies to develop a plan for the implementation of a comprehensive induction program that will implement the strategy.

Education Funding and the Alabama Example: Another Player on a Crowded Field John Herbert Roth I. Introduction If the fundamental task of the school is to prepare children for life, the curriculum must be as wide as life itself. It should be thought of as comprising all the activities and the experiences afforded by the community through the school, whereby the children may be prepared to participate in the life of the community. During the birth of the United States , when the many notable proponents of a system of free public education in this nation envisioned the benefits of an educated multitude, it is doubtful that they could have conceived of the free public school system that has become today’s reality. Although it is manifest that an educated citizenry is an objective of the utmost importance in any organized and civilized society, the debate concerning how to provide for and fund a system of free public education has continued with little repose. Yet, in spite of continued debate and political rhetoric concerning better schools for the future, the plight of education funding in many jurisdictions has remained unaltered from year to year, and thus, from generation to generation. The resulting status quo of this educational inadequacy has been to some, in one form or another, the main culprit in deepening the almost abysmal chasm between opportunity and sustained misery commensurate with a proper education or the lack thereof.

STATE OF ALABAMA Office of the Governor BOB RILEY Governor Press Office January 29, 2004 Riley Outlines Major Reform and Accountability Measures for Alabama Schools BIRMINGHAM – Gov. Bob Riley today continued announcing more government reform and accountability measures he will propose in the upcoming legislative session. Today he announced major reforms to Alabama’s K-12 education system. “As we continue to focus attention on reforming Alabama’s government and making it more accountable to taxpayers, no changes we make will be as important or long-lasting as the ones we make toward improving our education system,” Riley said. “But simply spending more money without making the real, fundamental and systemic changes in the way we manage our schools, in the way we spend our education dollars, and in the way we hold people accountable for results simply dooms our children to the same failed system we have today.” Riley proposed a number of changes to improve schools and make them more accountable for the tax dollars they receive, including:
