6/1/2015 Group Watch: Charter School Commission
On Tuesday, the Alabama State Board of Education confirmed a list of appointed nominees to the state’s new charter school commission. A few weeks ago the board declined to confirm nominees, prompting the introduction of legislation to remove that authority from them. Upon hearing of Tuesday’s confirmation by the state board, Representative Terri Collins withdrew her bill from the House calendar. State Superintendent Tommy Bice said the board will serve the commission as administrative support.
