House Speaker Mike Hubbard (R-Auburn) today released the following
statement in response to Dr. Henry Mabry's press conference
this morning:
"Every
major group working to improve education in Alabama has endorsed this
bill because they understand the cookie cutter
approach hasn't worked and local officials know best what their schools
need. Henry Mabry, in his role as union boss, is simply defending the
same broken status quo that has failed Alabama's children and their
parents for decades. Republicans are fighting
for local control of schools, while the AEA demands union control of
schools."
EDITOR'S NOTE - The following organizations have endorsed the School Flexibility Act:
The School Superintendents of Alabama
Alabama Association of School Boards
Alabama Association of School Business

Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools

Business Council of Alabama,
