BEA is founded upon a simple, core fundamental – no child in Alabama should receive a less than adequate education simply due to his or her zip code or street address – and we believe that school choice offers the best route to that goal.
In schools where the absence of student achievement is obvious and previous efforts to improve performance have failed, parents and students should be offered other options where success is more likely.
Just as competitors force businesses to improve quality, service and products for their customers in order to maintain a share of the market, school choice does the same for education. Failing schools are provided the incentive they need in order to improve or risk losing students to better performing facilities.
