Source: www2.alabamavotes.gov
What does this measure do?
Supports: Government Efficiency
Two or more neighboring county school boards could merge into one multi-county school system after a study, public notice, and a chance for residents to object. Your local schools would stay as they are unless your county boards choose to merge.
Proposed by: Alabama Legislature (House Bill 380 of 2026, Rep. Terri Collins)
Rep. Collins is a Decatur Republican. She says letting county school boards merge would cut costs, such as paying fewer superintendents, and put more money in classrooms.
