February 28, 2022 Group Watch: Senator Marsh Pushes for Action on Education This Session
Last week, Senator Del Marsh made the argument for more parental choice and more accountability in schools, encouraging his counterparts to pass legislation this session that makes it clear state leadership is unhappy with Alabama’s lower national education rankings. His school-choice bill was sent to a study commission, signaling its not likely to pass this session. During the floor discussion, Sen. Bobby Singleton said that he hopes the commission looks at some of the environmental factors in low-income school systems that lead to poor student performance. Singleton is a member of a bipartisan commission of Representatives and Senators that met for the first time on Wednesday outside the presence of non-commission members.
