MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Gov. Bob Riley's plan to legalize
charter schools in Alabama has been completely blocked in the
Legislature.
The Senate Finance and Taxation-Education Committee voted 13-4
Wednesday to kill the Senate version of Riley's charter school
bill. The House Education Appropriations Committee voted 13-2 last
week to kill the House version of the bill.
A charter school opponent, teacher lobbyist Paul Hubbert, said
that should end the issue for this session of the Legislature.
A proponent, state Superintendent of Education Joe Morton, said
the outcome was no surprise, but it was disappointing.
