What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bill HB 380, sponsored by Terri Collins, passed the Alabama House of Representatives and the Senate this spring. The measure would allow two or more county school boards to merge if voters approve a constitutional amendment next month. This consolidation would allow boards to combine, particularly in small counties with fewer than 1,000 students.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bill aims to allow school boards to combine to save money by reducing administrative costs. If consolidation occurs, the State Board of Education must publish a study evaluating the impact on operations and students at least 30 days before the vote.
