Best Use of Ed Dollars

Readers it looks at though Alabama will have an additional $404 million to spend on education in fiscal year 13-14.  What do you think is the best way to spend it?  Below are listed some areas. 

Staff raises - $34 million for every one percent raise.  AEA recommends 10% over 2 years.
Lower the divisors to help lower the class size
Offer incentives for those teaching hard to find subjects; math, science, and special ed.
Additonal funding for AMSTI and ARI.
Restore teacher supply monies; fee replacement, technology, library enhancement, professional development, and textbooks.
Restore funding for fleet renewal for our school buses.

Other uses - Be specific
