What changed in the latest version
34 added · 85 removedPlain-language change summary
The recently enrolled version of SB 86 specifies that, starting in August 2025, the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education will only have authority over schools within the city limits of Tuscaloosa. This means that any areas outside the city's boundaries will fall under the jurisdiction of the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education or other relevant city boards. This change is significant because it clarifies the governance of education in the region, potentially impacting funding and resources for schools depending on their location.
