Governor Ivey to Continue Back-to-School Tour in Elmore County
PRATTVILLE – Governor Kay Ivey on Monday will travel to Elmore County to visit classrooms and deliver encouraging remarks to students at Ivy Classical Academy.
The governor will arrive at Ivy Classical Academy at approximately 10:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time.
Governor Kay Ivey’s Back-to-School Tour features a diverse collection of learning institutions across the state, including public schools, Turnaround schools, private schools and charter schools.
Under Governor Ivey’s leadership, record funding has been secured for Alabama’s public schools, which is enabling schools to expand programs, improve facilities and enhance the educational experience for students across the state.
The Governor’s Turnaround Schools Initiative, launched the Fall of 2022, is designed to transform low-performing schools and the surrounding communities. Through this program, several schools have already seen significant improvements in academic performance and school culture.
Governor Ivey’s top priority during the 2024 legislative session, the CHOOSE Act, provides parents with greater choice in selecting the best educational environment for their children. Her signature on this significant legislation reflects her commitment to expanding education options and ensuring that every Alabama student – no matter their zip code – has access to a school that meets their unique needs.
Additionally, Governor Ivey has been a staunch supporter for charter schools, which offer innovative educational approaches tailored to the needs of their students. She has continuously backed increased state support for charter schools. Ivy Classical Academy, a charter school, is in its first year of operation.
