Section 16-28A-1 Legislative findings. It is the finding of the Alabama Legislature that the
people of Alabama have two basic expectations of their public schools: (1) that students be
allowed to learn in a safe classroom setting where order and discipline are maintained; and
(2) that students learn at the level of their capabilities and achieve accordingly. The Legislature
finds further that every child in Alabama is entitled to have access to a program of instruction
which gives him or her the right to learn in a non-disruptive environment. No student has
a right to be unruly in his or her classroom to the extent that such disruption denies fellow
students of their right to learn. The teacher in each classroom is expected to maintain order
and discipline. Teachers are hereby given the authority and responsibility to use appropriate
means of discipline up to and including corporal punishment as may be prescribed by the local
board of education. So long as teachers follow approved...

Section 16-3-16.1 Board to review requirements for teacher education; nationally normed teacher
examination. (a) The Legislature finds a compelling interest in adequately preparing teachers
to teach. The two basic components of teaching consist of knowing what to teach (content)

the requirements of programs for teacher education and preparation and select a nationally
normed teacher examination to be used. The nationally normed teacher examination may include
the National Teacher Exam or any other national equivalent exam. Colleges and universities
shall require each teacher candidate to pass the nationally normed examination as a condition
of graduation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, a person can, at any
