MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama education officials have filed
an amended request with the government to let failing K-12 schools
offer tutoring in addition to allowing students to transfer to
better-performing schools in 2008-09.
Officials say the move would allow certain schools more
flexibility and give them a chance to help their students improve
before letting them leave.
High poverty schools that receive federal funding must offer
school choice transfers the first year they fail to meet assessment
benchmarks.
If they fail for a second straight year, they must offer
students after-school tutoring.
If the state's request is granted, Alabama school systems would
be able to provide tutoring in the first year instead of only
having it available in the second year.
