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 16-1-20.6 Released time for student participation in religious instruction.
(a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Alabama Released Time Credit
