Section 1-2A-2 Historical information. The Legislature finds it is appropriate to include within
this chapter general history and related information concerning the state flag. The state
did not have a flag from 1819 to January 11, 1861, when a resolution was passed designating
a flag designed by a group of Montgomery women as the "Republic of Alabama Flag."
One side of this flag displayed, under an arch bearing the words "Independent Now and
Forever," the Goddess of Liberty holding in her right hand an unsheathed sword and in
her left hand a small flag with one star. Displayed on the reverse side of this flag were
a large cotton plant in full fruit and flower, a coiled rattlesnake, and the Latin words "Noli
Me Tangere" (Touch Me Not) beneath the cotton plant. This flag, which flew for about
a month, was removed to the Governor's office on February 10, 1861, apparently suffering damage
caused by severe weather. The Republic of Alabama Flag was never flown again. From April 1865
until...

Section 16-1-51 Grants to public schools for advanced educational and specialized programs
for gifted and talented children. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1)
It is vital that Alabama's public schools challenge and encourage students who are capable
of completing accelerated academic work. (2) Programs to encourage accelerated students can
often be maintained by schools, after an initial start cost, with funding roughly equivalent
to what they currently receive. (3) This state should encourage schools to develop and implement
gifted and talented student programs to provide options for students capable of doing advanced
class work. (b)(1) The State Department of Education shall award available grants to public

Section 16-16A-7 Additional findings; bonds authorized; procedures. (a) The Legislature finds
that the number of students attending the several school systems located in those areas of
North Alabama that will be directly impacted by the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will collectively increase by an estimated 9,000 students. As a result, there will be a need
for the construction of additional school facilities as well as the renovation of existing
school facilities. The Legislature also finds that the 2005 BRAC and Subsequent BRAC Actions
will have a positive impact on future receipts to the Education Trust Fund, as the significant
population growth in North Alabama will increase sales, income, and other tax collections.
Thus, it is an efficient use of state funds to allow such revenue growth to help pay for capital
improvement costs associated with BRAC-related school construction. (b) The Alabama Public
School and College Authority is hereby authorized to sell and issue its...

Section 16-1-24.1 Safe school and drug-free school policy; treatment of policy violators; promulgation
and distribution of discipline policy; liability limited for discipline actions; local boards
may adopt more stringent guidelines. (a) The Legislature finds a compelling public interest
in ensuring that schools are made safe and drug-free for all students and school employees.
The Legislature finds the need for a comprehensive safe school and drug-free school policy
