Southern Preparatory Academy, appropriation

HB 175 allocates $450,000 from Alabama's Education Trust Fund to Southern Preparatory Academy in Camp Hill for its educational program during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill directly affects the school by providing funding for operations and maintenance, subject to specific reporting requirements. Key provisions require the academy to submit an operations plan with performance goals, an audited 2024 financial statement, and quarterly expenditure reports before funds are released. It also mandates an end-of-year performance report detailing accomplishments, costs, and program effectiveness to Alabama's Director of Finance. The funding becomes effective October 1, 2025, and must comply with state budget laws.
