Section 16-40-9 Instruction for avoiding child sexual abuse. (a)(1) The Legislature recognizes
that Erin Merryn was raped and molested for six and a half years by a neighbor and a family
member. She began a crusade her senior year of high school in 2004 to end the silence and
shame around sexual abuse. Erin's Law has been adopted in a number of states to help address

and to report abuse. (3) The Legislature finds that without a specific initiative like Erin's
Law, schools generally fail to give young students adequate awareness and a voice in this
issue. (b) The Governor's Task Force on Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Children created under
subsection (c) shall adopt guidelines for a child sexual abuse prevention instructional program.
The guidelines shall: (1) Educate children in grades pre-kindergarten...

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...
