Section 16-28B-2 Legislative intent. It is the intent of the Legislature to provide for the
adoption of policies in public school systems to prevent the bullying of students. It is the
further intent of the Legislature that this chapter apply only to student against student
bullying, intimidation, violence, and threats of violence in the public schools of Alabama,
and between students while not on school property, in grades prekindergarten through 12, and
that the State Department of Education develop, and each local board of education adopt procedural
policies to manage and possibly prevent these acts against any student by another student
or students based on the characteristics of a student. Additionally, it is the intent of the

Section 16-6C-1 Legislative findings. (a) Just as there is value in assigning grades that reflect
the performance of public school students in Alabama, the Legislature finds that there is
also value in assigning grades that reflect the performance of the public schools attended
by public school students in Alabama. The Legislature further finds that an easy to understand
school grading system would best serve the interests of the public as a whole, and specifically
the parents and guardians of public school students, by providing another transparent layer
of accountability for the public dollars allocated to elementary and secondary education in
the state. (b) The Legislature also finds that there is a need for a program to reward public
K-12 schools in Alabama that demonstrate high achievement. The Legislature further finds that
performance-based incentives and increased autonomy are commonplace in the private sector
and should be infused into the public sector as a reward for...

Section 31-13-2 Legislative findings. The State of Alabama finds that illegal immigration is
causing economic hardship and lawlessness in this state and that illegal immigration is encouraged
when public agencies within this state provide public benefits without verifying immigration
status. Because the costs incurred by school districts for the public elementary and secondary
education of children who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States can adversely
affect the availability of public education resources to students who are United States citizens
or are aliens lawfully present in the United States, the State of Alabama determines that
there is a compelling need for the State Board of Education to accurately measure and assess
the population of students who are aliens not lawfully present in the United States, in order
to forecast and plan for any impact that the presence such population may have on publicly
funded education in this state. The State of Alabama further...
