Connecting public charter school families to Alabama policymakers

Public Charter Schools in Alabama

In 2015, the Alabama Legislature passed the School Choice and Student Opportunity Act, enabling public charter schools in Alabama. 

  • There are currently 19 public charter schools in Alabama serving approximately 8,100 students.

  • These 19 schools are located in 8 counties across 10 cities.

  • The goal of Alabama Families for Great Schools is to connect those 8,100 families with state and local policymakers to ensure that decision-makers understand the needs of Alabama public charter schools.
