THIS SECTION WAS ASSIGNED BY THE CODE COMMISSIONER IN THE 2018 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2018. THIS IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CODE SUPPLEMENT.

The purpose of the Alabama Math and Science Teacher Education Program is twofold:

(1) To encourage individuals to enroll in and complete programs leading to Alabama certification in mathematics or science.

(2) To improve the educational system in Alabama by encouraging those who complete the program to accept math or science teaching positions in Alabama public schools, preferably in public school systems where the shortage of math or science teachers, or both, is most acute.

(Act 2018-504, §2.)
