亚拉巴马的入学人数在2025-2026年下降了5,823名学生,这是40年来最大的下降,这主要是由于《CHOOSE法》扩大了私立学校和家庭学校的选择。 Alabama’s school enrollment fell by 5,823 students in 2025-2026, the largest drop in 40 years, largely due to the CHOOSE Act expanding private and homeschool options.

2025-2026年,阿拉巴马州公立学校的入学率下降了5 823名学生,这是40年来最大的下降。 Alabama public school enrollment dropped by 5,823 students in 2025-2026, the largest decline in 40 years, according to state officials. 州州长Eric Mackey将其中约3 000起离境事件归因于《CHOOSE法》,该法扩大了私立学校和家庭学校的入学机会。 State Superintendent Eric Mackey attributed about 3,000 of the departures to the CHOOSE Act, which expanded access to private schools and homeschooling. 大约半数失踪学生在非公共环境中,其余学生仍然下落不明,原因可能是未报告的家庭学校教育。 Around half of the missing students are in non-public settings, while the rest remain unaccounted for, possibly due to unreported homeschooling. 预计这一下降将使国家教育预算减少3 000万美元,并可能导致大约500名教师失业,这很可能是因为没有更换退休人员。 The drop is expected to reduce the state’s education budget by $30 million and lead to about 500 teacher job losses, likely through non-replacement of retirements. 官员正在进行家访,以找到未入学的学生,并确保所有儿童都接受教育。 Officials are conducting home visits to locate unenrolled students and ensure all children are in education.
