Last week, the Alabama House Ways and Means Education committee declined to vote on a less-than-ideal public charter school bill that would have allowed low-performing public schools in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile to be converted to public charter schools. The decision is considered a blow to the Alabama education reform movement and will leave charter proponents at least a year away from another chance at comprehensive public charter school legislation in the state.

As we highlighted Monday on the AAE blog: May 7-11, 2012, is National Charter Schools Week. This is a time to celebrate the important role charter schools have in improving our education system. This year is particularly noteworthy as public charter schools in the U.S. are celebrating twenty years of success.

Cinco de Mayo, observed on May 5 every year, is a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride in the United States and a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. Meaning "Fifth of May" in Spanish, this holiday is an excellent opportunity for teachers to address subjects including Mexican history, art, culture, language, math and music.
