Dixon rules out extra legislative session on school funds
Alabama Governor Dixon flatly rejects a special session to address school funding. A state school leaders group proposes talks with the governor after a projected $500,000 to $750,000 surplus in the educational trust fund could be affected by any legislative action. The issue includes pay equity concerns tied to a Virginia court ruling and federal mandates.
