Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey visited Chastang-Fournier K-8 School Wednesday to get an up-close look at one of 15 low-performing schools across the state that she singled out for special help.

An enthusiastic assembly of students greeted Ivey and joined her in a chant of, “Strong students lead to a strong Alabama.” She told the students they have so much more technology than when she went to school.

“With the governor’s turn-around money, I’m able to hire specialized coaches and intervention teachers to come in and work specifically with those students,” she said after Wednesday’s event. Coleman noted that the report card score actually represents and improvement from the 50 score it posted for the 2017-2018 school year.Coleman said the grant money has helped. It has been used to provide more arts education, during the school year and the summer. A mural on the wall of the gymnasium is a lasting symbol of that initiative.
