Who We Are

Save Alabama Summers is a nonprofit, statewide coalition of parents, educators, students and school administrators concerned about education and the impact the early to mid-August school start date has on our students and teachers.

Our mission is to raise public awareness about this issue and its direct impact on Alabama youth and the education we expect them to earn.

It is our belief a nontraditional school year undermines public education and Alabama school kids. When the school year is allowed to start earlier and earlier in the summer months, it inhibits teachers' abilities to continue their education. It minimizes students' opportunities to gain workplace experience. What's more, it provides no additional class time or educational benefit for our students.
