URGENT URGENT URGENT


ACTION NEEDED TO CONTACT ALL 105 MEMBERS OF THE


ALABAMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES



MONTGOMERY:       Tuesday, the Alabama Legislative Watchdogs and the Shelby County Republican Women issued a statement urging members to contact their state representatives to oppose Senate Bill 222, which takes away voters rights to elect their own school superintendents.


Elected county school superintendents would be replaced by appointed superintendents answerable only to the politicians on the local school boards.


SB222 is sponsored by State Senator Tom Butler, R-Huntsville.


SB222 passed out of the Senate on April 11 on a 19 to 10 vote.


Senators Gudger, Price, Livingston, Orr, Reed, Ward, Chesteen, Jones, Roberts, and Scofield (all Republicans) voted No on the bill.  Butler and Senator President Pro Tem Del Marsh (R-Anniston) formed a bipartisan alliance with the Senate Democrats to pass this bill in the Senate.


The controversial bill has received a favorable report by the House Education Policy committee on an 8 to 4 vote and could be voted on by the full state House of Representatives as early as today.


The conservative groups say in a statement that, “This makes a School Superintendent unaccountable to the people” and that “Elected Superintendents outperform appointed Superintendents on the State Report Card and Accountability Test.”

IF THIS LEGISLATION PASSES THE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION IN COUNTY SCHOOLS WOULD NO LONGER BE THE SELECTION OF THE QUALIFIED VOTERS, BUT HAND PICKED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.


DANGEROUS LEGISLATION and to stop it will take each one calling members of the Alabama House of Representatives.
