Description

This bill would establish the Students First Act of 2011.

This bill would provide rights, remedies, and obligations with respect to employment actions affecting or involving certain employees or categories of employees of county and city boards of education, the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind, the Alabama Industrial School for Boys, the Alabama Industrial School for Girls, the Alabama Industrial School at Mt. Meigs, and two-year educational institutions operated under the authority and control of the Department of Postsecondary Education.

This bill would repeal existing statutes that are in conflict or that are otherwise inconsistent with this bill, including, but not limited to, the Fair Dismissal Act, the Teacher Tenure Law, and the law prescribing procedures for teacher transfers.

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose.

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment.
