I’m glad to see Governor Riley getting serious about education reform in Alabama. Charter schools have more momentum now than they’ve ever had. Several leaders in the black community are supporting Sen. French’s effort in the Senate, and I’ve heard rumors that a member of the black caucus may carry the bill in the House.

Unfortunately, Paul Hubbert and the AEA are doing everything they can to make sure the state legislature doesn’t let a bill pass.

This is definitely an issue to watch in the coming legislative session.
