HB264 Alabama 2018 Session

Under existing law, applicable to all public schools, children between the ages of six and 17 years are required to attend public school. Another provision of law specifies the minimum age for school enrollment based on the age and birthday of a child.

Also under existing law, a specific provision relating to city boards of education specifies that children between six and 19 years of age on the date school opens are entitled to admission to city public schools.

This bill would delete the specific provisions applicable to city public schools. City schools would continue to be subject to the same provisions applicable to all public schools.

Relating to city boards of education; to amend Section 16-11-16 of the Code of Alabama 1975, to delete certain provisions relating to eligibility for admission to city public schools.
