From Advocacy to Policy How the RAISE Act is Transforming Opportunities for Alabama Students

Описание: A+ Education Partnership led the Every Child Alabama Coalition to advocate for restructuring school funding which eventually turned into the Alabama RAISE Act at the legislation. The RAISE Act has transformed how Alabama funds its schools, replacing a 30-year-old formula with a new hybrid approach. A+ Education Partnership will explore what changed, why it matters, and who benefits most. Participants will gain insight into how the new formula directs more resources to specific student populations and what that means in practice for schools. The session will also examine how these changes may impact students’ day-to-day experiences and outcomes. Finally, we will share what’s next for A+ Education Partnership as it continues working to build on this progress.
