Alabama teachers oppose governor plan on federal guidelines
AEA officials and allied education groups criticize the governor's bid to replace lost federal funds with state money. They warn the plan would strip local school boards of authority, raise costs, and threaten salaries despite a prior surplus used for a 10 percent teacher raise. The dispute centers on constitutional governance, local control, and federal funds.

Governor Wallace education bill sparks legal clash
Dr. Robert L. Saunders AEA president says the Wallace bill abrogates local school board authority through legislative action. State Supt. Meadows backs the governor while Supt. elect Ernest Stone could not be reached. Senator Ed Horton proposes court rulings on guideline legality and a federal funding halt until decisions are made. Independent candidate Carl Robinson calls the move a power play.
