Alabama’s CHOOSE Act sparks controversy as public schools struggle to meet funding and legal requirements
Andrea Alvarez, a school board member in North Alabama, is challenging Alabama's CHOOSE Act, which provides vouchers for private education. She argues it undermines public schools by diverting funds from the Education Trust Fund, potentially violating constitutional requirements. Critics highlight that the $7,000 vouchers don't cover full private school costs, and public schools face stricter regulations with less funding.
