SJR9 sustains the Joint Committee on Administrative Regulation Review’s disapproval of the proposed amendment to Rule 290-4-1 (Education Accountability) and urges adoption of the revised Alabama Educator Code of Ethics.
The resolution confirms that the proposed amendment to Rule 290-4-1 was considered ambiguous and unenforceable as drafted and maintains the disapproval. It then urges the Department of Education and the State Board of Education to reconsider and adopt the revised rule proposed by the Joint Committee, known as the Alabama Educator Code of Ethics. The revised rule would establish a clearly defined standard of professional behavior for Alabama educators and create disciplinary sanctions for unethical conduct, aiming to provide one of the toughest ethics codes for teachers in the nation.
