In 2015 Alabama passed legislation to finally allow for the opening of charter schools in the state. Even though they are now allowed in the state, only four have been opened since.\u00a0All of this federal grant funding is aimed at attracting charter schools into the state<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the need for incentive, the\nDepartment of Education decided to award New Schools for Alabama, a nonprofit\nin the state, the grant for a total of $25 million to be utilized in assisting\nand persuading more charter schools to come into the state. Grants such as\nthese, can easily be found amongst others through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\">GrantWatch<\/a>.com, a\nlisting service of available grants. The organization hopes to use the funding\nto bring and help fund 15 new schools. Tyler Barnett, the executive director\nfor New Schools for Alabama said in a press release that his organization will\nlook to push their efforts towards educationally underserved areas and\nstudents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Plan of Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alabama joined two other states, who\nwere awarded the grant as a part of their Charter Schools Program grant. The\nprogram has grown significantly since it was authorized in 1995 and has funded\na total of 20 states in the last three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnett states that he knows that\nthis grant could be a large influx of charters flooding into the state and has\nsuch plans to disburse the grant money accordingly. Schools of Alabama plan to\noversee a competitive process to sort through the applications for funding they\nare expecting. Grants will be assigned to a total of 15 different schools at a\nmaximum of $1.5 million per school and spanning a period of five years. This\nmeans there is a potential that three schools could be added every year\nthroughout the five-year process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization plans to focus on schools planning to serve underprivileged children that might not have the availability to better educational options otherwise. They plan to do this by gauging the poverty level of schools through free or reduced meal eligibility and focusing on these areas. The ways to do this is by using the federal grant funding aimed at attracting charter schools into the state in a way that benefits the entire education system as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grantnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/education12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1208\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opposition&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many praise the state for\nthe planned expansion of the charter school program, many members of the\ncurrent public education community see it as a failure in the system. Members\nof the Alabama Education Association, an organization who represents the employees\nof the public-school system in Alabama, have been very vocal about their\nopposition of charter schools. Many asking, \u201cWhen you dilute the funding going\nto the public schools in a system, who ultimately is paying that price?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Relentless Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State Senate President Pro Tempore\nDel Marsh (R-Anniston) responded to this opposition, with strong remarks\nregarding the program. He was \u201cvery happy\u201d to see Alabama win this grant, after\nsponsoring the law that made charter schools legal in 2015. He also went on to\nexpress that the public needs to be informed and reminded of the fact that\nthese schools are public schools as well and help further educational goals for\neveryone in the state. He followed with the statement that, \u201cThis talk about\ntaking money out of public schools is ridiculous,\u201d stating once again that the\nfocus of the grant is on economically underdeveloped areas where the children\nneed help greatly in the education space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, your organization or local government need assistance in searching for educational grants available to you, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/cat\/9\/elementary-education-grants.html\">GrantWatch.com<\/a> or for more news regarding education check out the other articles in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantnews.com\/category\/education\/\">Education <\/a>section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking ahead to new horizons in education, the U.S. Department of Education has just disclosed that they have awarded a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":1207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sb_is_suggestion_mode":false,"_sb_show_suggestion_boards":false,"_sb_suggestion_history":"","_sb_update_block_changes":"","_is_real_time_mode":false,"_realtime_collaborators":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[104,139,147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archived-posts","category-education","category-latest"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Federal Grant Funding Aimed at Attracting Charter Schools into The State<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Federal Grant Funding Aimed at Attracting Charter Schools into The State.
