Section 16-6B-11 Paperwork Reduction Committee. (a) The Legislature finds that the excessive
paperwork required of teachers and other public education employees hinders the prime responsibility
of public education: The education of the children of Alabama. The Legislature also finds

to teach, it is imperative that all unnecessary paperwork be eliminated from our public schools
and necessary paperwork be automated to the maximum practical extent. (b) The Paperwork Reduction
Committee is created. The membership of the committee shall...
