## Resource

Alabama’s educators are getting a major boost this May, as Governor Kay Ivey leads a bold push to elevate teaching quality through record pay raises, new stipends, and groundbreaking benefits like paid parental leave—all backed by the state’s largest education budget in history. With teachers now ranked the best-prepared in the nation for elementary math, and new laws like the Focus Act gaining strong support, Alabama is proving that investing in educators isn’t just smart—it’s foundational to building a stronger future for every student, every community, and every profession.
