Rep. Jay Love says he will offer a bill to provide all state teachers with liability insurance that is an obvious attempt to continue and shrink AEA's membership rolls:
Republican State Rep. Jay Love of Montgomery says he will offer a bill to provide liability insurance for all Alabama teachers and other school workers. The bill would remove a financial incentive for educators to join the Alabama Education Association, which provides insurance coverage.
On another front, Alabama's two-year college system has notified its schools that AEA can no longer enroll members on the campuses. A spokeswoman for the Department of Postsecondary Education says the membership drives violate a state law that bans the use of state property to promote political candidates, which AEA does.
