Exciting news! Alabama has been selected as the national pilot state for Flags of Valor’s America 250 initiative. 🇺🇸
I enjoyed meeting with @FLAGSofVALOR founder Brian Steorts and @AlabamaELA to discuss bringing lessons in patriotism to students across our state. #alpolitics

Fueled by historic investments and strong industry support, Alabama is rapidly building one of the nation’s premier workforce development systems.
We’re committed to ensuring students in all 67 counties have an opportunity to learn a trade and make a good living doing it.

Enjoyed serving on The Evolving Role of States in Education panel at the Education Writers Association’s Annual National Seminar in Baltimore, Maryland today,
alongside other state chiefs. And, it was great catching up with Alabama Education Writers—past and present.

Great talking to @FoxNews about the progress Alabama is making in education while other states around the nation continue to decline in math and reading. Appreciate the support and investments from @GovernorKayIvey, the Alabama Legislature, and ALBOE

One of the world’s top CEOs is bragging on Alabama. Somewhere, an Alabama welder, engineer or assembly line worker ought to take a bow.
Global companies are planting flags here because the people building the future call Alabama home. #alpolitics

Scattered storms, heavy rain and the potential for severe weather — including tornadoes — are possible today and throughout this holiday weekend. While I remain optimistic Alabama sunshine may still peek through, stay vigilant! #alwx
