Did you catch Capitol Journal this week?
Despite the Legislature being gone, there was plenty to cover this week.
Among our topics: the Mercedes union vote, new 3rd grade reading scores, the Demopolis school bill signing event and other bill signings, Nick Saban and the Jimmy Rane Foundation dinner, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s thoughts from the Trump trial, and Alabama’s new Teacher of the Year.
I sat down with State Superintendent of Education Eric Mackey to talk about those encouraging new reading scores, what parents can expect going forward, and how Alabama will look at changing its education budgeting model.
