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,
