💰 Fighting for Fair Education Funding in Alabama! 💰 Did you know that homeschoolers and micro-schoolers in Alabama aren’t receiving the same level of funding as other students? In this clip from Episode 6 of Rocket City Momentum, we dive into the complex world of education funding and how new legislation like the Choose Act is working to level the playing field. 🏫 Students across Alabama are set to receive $7,000 per year to attend any school they want—but homeschoolers are only getting $2,000 with limits on how many students per family. Meanwhile, private school students and those in micro-schools, many of whom are special needs children, are still not receiving the support they need. We’re pushing for more resources to ensure ALL Alabama children are served equally, including those in alternative education programs like micro-schooling. What do YOU think about the current funding system for homeschool and private school students? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇 Watch the full episode to learn more about this important issue 👉 https://lnkd.in/euXAdFAE #EducationFunding #Homeschooling #MicroSchooling #SpecialNeedsEducation #ChooseAct #STEMEducation #RocketCityMomentum #AlabamaEducation #EqualFundingForAll #WatchNow

Some people are asking, what did Oakland Unified's Trustee just do? For context, on March 27 our Board voted in closed session on labor negotiations, and then in open session delayed a vote on the process for school closures and consolidations until June 5. Two days later, as spring break was starting, the County Trustee issued a stay of our labor vote until we take action to start the school closure equity impact analysis outlined in AB 1912. As a district in receivership, OUSD has a County Trustee, Luz T. Cázares, who can stay or rescind any action of the Board that she finds will negatively impact our finances. For example, in 2022 she stayed our vote to create some central positions until there was an outside review of the structure of Central Office. The trustee has repeatedly said: Offering ongoing compensation increases will require the Board either to close/consolidate several schools through the AB1912 process, or to gut services to all of our schools. For example, several OUSD elementary schools have fewer than 200 students each, so they need extra funding to operate, but are hard to staff because many new teachers don't want to be the only one at a site at their grade level. As Board President, I have re-agendized the AB 1912 metrics for this Wednesday. Procedurally, however, we can only consider this item if the Board votes to override its previous decision to delay the metrics vote to June 5. Below is the page where I posted the Trustee's memo as redacted by our General Counsel, as well as a link to the letter from the County Superintendent, Alysse Castro, approving an agreement reached with AFSCME. It's clear from her words that these are the last compensation increases that the County will approve until we take further action on restructuring: "If the Board wishes to prioritize compensation increases for all staff, there are many possible paths to doing so in a balanced budget, but all involve following through on making hard tradeoffs and reductions in other areas... acknowledging the reality that there are no significant remaining places to cut that do not impact school sites. So long as the board continues to take action on reductions equal to proposed increases, they retain full decision making autonomy." The implication is clear: If instead we do not act responsibly, the interventions from the County will increase in frequency and severity. I want our Board to manage OUSD independently without county intervention. However, by delaying action on AB 1912 on March 27, we did not act as a Board that has a clear plan, but as a Board that is putting off the inevitable. If it takes the County Trustee's action to wake us up to that fact, then so be it. https://lnkd.in/gQtE7XkG
