Gov Bentley and Company "Feeding the cradle-to-prison pipeline"

Sweet Home Alabama Governor Bentley and his red, republican controlled legislature propose giving more power to local school boards allowing  them the opportunity to implement innovative strategies currently restricted by state law.   In other words, allowing local school boards to give state law the middle finger.

I thought school boards were elected by the people to make policy for the school district and it's powers and duties are set by state law?

Sorry, but I don't want my local school board to have the opportunity to implement innovative strategies currently restricted by state law.  There are so many, many things wrong with  my local school board it's not funny.   I can just imagine the innovative strategies they will implement.
