It’s Time to Modernize Alabama’s School Funding Formula. At A+ Education Partnership, we often hear from school leaders that the Foundation Program, our current school funding formula, is inadequate, inequitable, and confusing. And we totally agree. When it passed in 1995, the Foundation Program was similar to other funding formulas being used by states around the country. But since then, over 41 states have moved to a student-weighted formula, which is a more modern way of allocating state funding. We believe it’s time for Alabama to join those other states and modernize our state funding formula by adopting a student-weighted formula.
