What happened
Alabama is investing heavily in Career and Technical Education (CTE), setting aside $100 million in 2025 and an additional $150 million this year to modernize facilities and build new training centers. Separately, the state's CHOOSE Act program provided over $174 million in public funds to more than 34,000 students for private school tuition or homeschool materials. Furthermore, Governor Kay Ivey established a commission to examine screen-based instruction in K-12 classrooms.
