It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years since it all started – right here in Alabama. Since then, there have been three national elections featuring Donald Trump, two presidential inaugurations, and over 300 large, enthusiastic rallies in stadiums and other spacious facilities.

The Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) voted on Thursday to approve a contract extension and $80,000 salary increase for State Superintendent Eric Mackey, down $55,000 from the board’s initial proposal.

Two new members of the State Board of Education will be sworn in Tuesday at the state capitol.
