A similar policy, the PRICE Act, stalled in committee during the legislative session
) - Alabama Governor Kay Ivey recently signed a law that aims to provide more financial assistance to families for their children’s education.
The legislation, which has been in place for over a decade, has raised the income threshold for families to qualify for scholarships and increased the scholarship amount to $10,000 per student per year. These scholarships are specifically designated for students attending priority schools, previously referred to as failing schools. Under the new law, families have the option to transfer their children to participating private schools or enroll them in qualifying public schools. The expansion of eligibility for scholarships was met with divided opinions among lawmakers.
