| Governor Bob Riley's State of the State Address
Early Learning -- Pre-Kindergarten
-- Invest an additional $20 million to triple the number of children who benefit from voluntary First Class pre-K.
By providing affordable access, First Class fills the gap that has left working families with too few options.
Ethics
-- Ban double dipping in our two-year system, our four-year system, in K through 12 and in every state agency.
Finance
-- Pass a balanced budget that will not only continue to fund priority programs by protecting them from cuts but expand them. These priorities are:
the Reading Initiative, Math, Science and Technology Initiative, and ACCESS distance learning program.
Technology
-- Create the Alabama Internet Initiative with a goal of ensuring that every home and every business has high-speed Internet access and will have it within the next four years.
