Governor Bentley Releases Statement on Passage of the Education Trust Fund Budget
MONTGOMERY–Governor Robert Bentley on Tuesday issued a statement on the final passage of the Education Trust Fund Budget. The budget is the largest one passed since 2008.
“A quality education is the foundation upon which Alabama’s future rests. I believe there is no better investment that we can make as state leaders, and I commend the Alabama Legislature for working together to pass the largest Education Trust Fund Budget since 2008. Alabama’s graduation rate continues to rise and our focus to increase access to voluntary pre-kindergarten for all Alabama children continues as a celebrated priority. The investment that we make today in education is one that I believe will move our state forward and provide individuals with a higher quality of life for generations to come.” – Governor Robert Bentley
