5 Alabama elementary schools with “overwhelming” needs are getting state money to make critical adjustments.
Several considerations went into choosing these schools, the main reasons are low test scores and high poverty levels.Opportunities for crucial resources at Alabama’s most challenged schools is what the “turnaround schools initiative” will give the school.
“We know this school needs the additional support and help,” expresses Maria Johnson, Assistant Superintendent of Dothan City Schools. “One good thing about this whole process is that the state of Alabama came in and asked us what we needed.”“Hiring more teachers will give us the opportunity to make our classrooms smaller,” says Jeff Torrence, Principal of Faine Elementary.
The state superintendent of education and the governor have both said it will take years for Faine and the other 14 schools to see any real impact.The school district is unaware at this time exactly how much funding Faine will receive, but they are expected to obtain it October 1st.
