Dadeville man arrested on child sexual abuse charges

Chariot Ward watches a competitor as she goes down the hill at last year’s inaugural derby. Marrell Ward is planning the second one set for Oct. 6 in memory of his son Ducky Ward.

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Joshua Dwayne Ammons of Dadeville was arrested last Monday on charges of child sexual abuse. The arrest comes as a result of an investigation conducted by both the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Ammons Dadeville Police Department. Ammons, 26, was charged with sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old and enticing a child to enter a vehicle or house for immoral purposes. Ammons’ arrest warrants state he touched a girl under 12 in the genital area earlier this month resulting in the sex abuse charge. Ammons’ enticing charge is the result of inviting a child under 16 into a room, house or office for the purpose of sexual intercourse or an act of sodomy or for the purpose of proposing the fondling, or feeling the sexual or genital parts of the child or for proposing the child fondle or feel the sexual or genital parts See BOWENS • Page A3

Bond revoked for Camp Hill man facing 4 counts of manslaughter By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Cobe Desahwan Bowens is in the Tallapoosa County Jail after Judge Tom Young revoked his bond Wednesday. Bowens was out of jail on a $160,000 bond pending a trial on four counts of manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident and failure to render aid following a Jan. 12, 2016 Bowens two-vehicle accident in Camp Hill. The State of Alabama had asked for the revocation following Bowens’ arrest July 12 in Lafayette for felony burglary and harassment. Margaret Brown, Bowens’ attorney of record for the manslaughter case was not present for the hearing. Bowens’ hands were placed in handcuffs in front as a deputy removed a wallet from his left rear pocket in his denim shorts while he wore a pink golf shirt Wednesday. Bowens is on the plea docket for Nov. 6. The Camp Hill Police Department identified Bowens as the driver of a rented Dodge See BOWENS • Page A3

of the suspect. The child sex abuse charge is a Class B felony punishable by a prison sentence of two to 20 years while the enticing charge is a Class C felony punishable by a prison sentence of one to 10 years. This is not Ammons’ first brush with law enforcement on charges of this category. In 2013, he was arrested on two counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sodomy. On June 9, 2015, Ammons pled guilty to sexual misconduct, a Class A misdemeanor, serving 12 months in prison. Ammons, who is registered as a sex offender with the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, was currently being held at the Tallapoosa County Jail on a $150,000 bond as of Wednesday afternoon.

of what we may lose on the hill, we’ll gain from having a launching ramp.� There will be a few changes in how the derby is held this year, including the implementation of age and weight classifications during the races. Ward said the three groupings will be ages 6 to 8 with the driver and car weighing no more than 200 pounds, ages 9 through 12 and a combined weight limit of 250 pounds, and 13 to 16 and a limit of 325 pounds. Should a situation arise where the child and car together weigh slightly over the limit, Ward said that child might still be able to race in his or her age group or may be bumped up to the next classification, depending on the situation. “I want to make sure we make it where all of the children can still race,� Ward said. However, there are some rules Ward said all drivers and their vehicles must follow without question. “All drivers have to wear a DOTapproved helmet, and all vehicles must have a hand steering system and brakes,� Ward said. Though all drivers and vehicles must follow these rules, Ward said the derby cars could be built however race participants wanted them to be constructed. Using one’s imagination and being highly creative when designing these vehicles is part of the charm of soap box derbies like these, Ward said. Other changes include the races being in a single-elimination format, though drivers will be able to earn a buy-back for $10 if a

pickup truck that investigators say ran through a stop sign at a high rate of speed and slammed into a Mitsubishi SUV carrying all four of the victims near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Street and Holley shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday morning in Jan. 2016. Officials said Bowens left the scene, but in the crash, James Moss, 47, of Camp Hill, Eric Moore, 40, of Camp Hill, Willie Ballard, 44, of Camp Hill and 48-year-old Angela Barnett of Camp Hill lost their lives. Camp Hill Police Department was the lead agency at the scene, with the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department and troopers from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency assisting. There was no information released at the time as to what may have caused the accident. Then Camp Hill Police Chief Johnny Potts did say excessive speed appeared to be a factor, but said it was too early to speculate on other factors until the investigation and test results are complete. Bowens is well-known in the community, having been a member of the 2010 Edward Bell State Championship basketball team.

small malfunction that can be easily repaired causes that driver to lose his or her race. Similar to last year’s derby, Ward said he wants to try and have the radar speed sign from the Dadeville Police Department at the races, where drivers can see how fast they are going as they speed down the hill, though Ward also wants to make sure it is placed in a spot where it will not be a potential hazard like last year, when one driver’s steering malfunctioned and he crashed into the barrier in front of the sign. Ward also said he wants to have at least one, possibly even two trial days where drivers can test their vehicles, find any bugs and work them out of the system before race day, though this will depend on if the Dadeville Police Department will be able to shut down the street on these dates. Ward said there will be trophies given out to the first-place finishers, as well as to the winners of the best in show and fan-voted best in show competitions. All participants will receive a medallion and a certificate for being a part of the event. There

is no registration fee for participants, but Ward said all those wanting to be a part of the race must be registered for the event by Sept. 22. Along with the derby, there will also be an antique car show taking place in the parking lot of First Baptist Church of Dadeville, the proceeds from which will go to help fund the derby. “Registration for the car show is $20,� Ward said. “There will be a trophy for the car voted best in show, and there may also be some 50/50 tickets sold as well throughout the show.� Though no registrations for the soap box derby have been received yet, Ward said there is no shortage of people expressing their interest in being a part of the event. “I’m hearing lots of excitement from everyone,� Ward said. “Everyone who participated in last year’s derby said they will be back this year, with the exception of three people. I hope to see 40 to 50 cars taking part this year. I’m hoping this year’s event will be even bigger than last year’s.�

Council tanks. The council then approved Resolution 18-018, setting up a bank account where these funds can be deposited. Wilkerson also announced the next window to apply for grants such as this one will open on Oct. 1, and the council approved a motion, empowering Wilkerson to submit a grant application during the next window. The council also heard from Kay Fincher, who is a member of an Alexander City-based art organization. The group wants to expand into the Dadeville area and have an open studio where local artists can come together, share ideas and work in the same space. Fincher requested being able to hold a weekly open studio session starting in October at the recreation center, while also answering questions about the organization from the council members. “We are not associated with the art guild here in town,� Fincher said. “We are not in competition with them, we want to come and be here in addition to them.� The council approved allowing the group to have its weekly studio sessions at the recreation center, feeling it was a good thing to have in town. “I have no problem with it as long as it doesn’t conflict with the other rentals,� Councilman Dick Harrelson said. The following items also came before the Dadeville

there was anything the city could do about sheets drying on a fence at the Heart of Dixie Motel.

The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council will be Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Dadeville City Hall beginning with a pre-council meeting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the regular council meeting at 6 p.m.

Powering Up After an Outage When the power goes out, we expect it to be restored within a few hours. But when a major storm or natural disaster causes widespread damage, extended outages may result. Our line crews work long, hard hours to restore service safely to the greatest number of consumers in the shortest time possible. Here’s what’s going on if you find yourself in the dark:

STATIONARY GENERATOR:

Transmission towers and cables that supply power to transmission substations (and thousands of members) rarely fail. But when damaged, these facilities must be repaired before other parts of the system can operate.

Plug appliances directly into the outlet provided on the generator.

2. Distribution Substation: A substation can serve hundreds or thousands of consumers. When a major outage occurs, line crews inspect substations to determine if problems stem from transmission lines feeding into the substation, the substation itself or if problems exist further down the line.

Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home. Make sure it’s out and away from your garage, doors, windows and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is deadly. 3. Main Distribution Lines:

Use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect electric appliances to the outlet on the generator.

FAYEAttorney EDMONDSON at Law

1. High-Voltage Transmission Lines:

If the problem cannot be isolated at a distribution substation, distribution lines are checked. These lines carry power to large groups of consumers in communities or housing developments.

Start the generator ďŹ rst before connecting appliances.

CALL (877) 456-8732 to report an outage

4. Tap Lines: If local outages persist, supply lines (also known as tap lines) are inspected. These lines deliver power to transformers, either mounted on poles or placed on pads for underground service, outside businesses, schools and homes.

5. Individual Homes:

Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative s TREC COOP

If your home remains without power, the service line between a transformer and your residence may need to be repaired. Always call to report an outage to help line crews isolate local issue.

The commission is contemplating what to do with a 1-cent sales tax. They are asking for input from school leaders as to their plans for education in the coming years. Do they keep it in place? Do they make it so the schools can sell bonds based on its revenue for larger projects? Do they make a push for a property tax increase? Or are there other ideas to consider? The other is the superintendent search in Alexander City to follow Dr. Darrell Cooper. Stakeholders are being asked for input in what they want to see in leadership going forward through a meeting tonight and online survey. All groups are seeking input for decisions on subjects that will affect the area for decades. The Record commends those who are slowing the process down and seeking input from all the stakeholders to make good decisions. We also commend the commission for sticking their neck out to one put in place the 1-cent sales tax to help with an immediate need, but also for making sure the monies are spent in a wise manner. The Record challenges the schools to be transparent in their needs and plans with all where they can. The Record also wants the public to make their voice heard in the matters as well. We want you to share your ideas with the commission on school funding and all about your vision for education going forward. We want you to share your thoughts on what should be considered. The Record also wants to task decision makers to listen to the stakeholders and talk with everyone through the process so the decisions and the process is transparent to all.

here is no shortage of columns which could be written to honor Sen. John McCain’s legacy, from touting his military career to silencing his critics who never served. Others focus on naming a Senate building or aircraft carrier after him, and that’s fine. But I think the best thing we could do to honor a great American patriot is to once again pass his greatest political legacy, the McCainFeingold campaign finance law, to save our country from foreign donors. What I first remember about McCain was winning his seat in Congress, then replacing retiring Sen. Barry Goldwater as a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution. He had an admirable military record and was a quick wit and sharp debater. As a graduate student in Wisconsin, I had read Wall Street Journal editorials praising Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold and his gift-ban idea, so I chose to intern for him. He was a class act as a politician, but this idea about limiting the power of the privileged to buy legislation, special exemptions and corruption really appealed to me. It was no surprise to me McCain became the chief GOP ally and eventual cosponsor of the bill. In 2000, I became a McCain volunteer, tirelessly working Republican

JOHN TURES Columnist meetings to drum up support for him in Delaware. Despite widespread public support and majority votes in the Senate, a small minority of senators were able to block the bill for years, until finally it broke through and George W. Bush signed it into law. The law worked too. In my analysis of one part of the bill, the “Millionaire’s Amendment,” (which allowed non-millionaires to match the financial power of those buying a seat) I found only one of 23 of those trying to buy a seat by loaning themselves a million dollars won, and that’s because one Texas millionaire beat another Texas millionaire. The will of the American people was then thwarted with the Citizens United case, one of the worse cases of judicial malfeasance in American history. Here’s why. The case didn’t cover the question before it, which is whether donors to an anti-Hillary video could be revealed. The Citizens United ruling struck down campaign finance limits, which was not the question being discussed; thus justifying the ruling’s

Reader: Don’t blame ‘all’ in party Woody Baird, before you speak next time, take your time and find out the truth. I do appreciate your apology but damage was done with your original letter if no one read the last one with the apology. And, another lie: Democrats do apologize if they do something wrong. Maybe not all, but some do. Also, please do not use the word “all,” “every one” of those Democrats, etc. because we are all unique — including you. Are we not? My genes,

blood chemistry, gender, etc. is different from yours. In fact, I could state all Republicans have no empathy, but I know that isn’t true. Some have more than I do. I could state all Republicans lie, but I know some don’t or at least I haven’t caught them. I could state all Republicans are stupid for believing in Trump and thinking Russians were not involved in the 2016 election, but I know some very intelligent Republicans. Those Republicans look at facts and look at the indictments against Trump folks

and the Russians so they know the truth. I appreciate loyalty to the party, but do your research. Listen to a non-partisan group and find out the truth. You obviously are quite intelligent Woody, but listen to BOTH sides of the issues — pro and con — from League of Women Voters, Snopes, Political Fact and others. Watch Fox News and MSNBC then go to these groups and find out who has pants on fire. Judy Palfrey Dadeville

sham designation. Since this horrible ruling, you should see what’s happened to America. We’ve had the biggest political corruption outbreak since the Teapot Dome scandal, with political fundraising machinations worse than CREEP from the Nixon era. And that’s not even the worst of it. Now Russian oligarchs can out-donate American citizens, and we haven’t even fully figured out how China is getting involved. If Americans want to stay sovereign, we’ve got to get back to the time before Citizens United. And that means passing a McCainFeingold bill, one that not only creates a level field for free speech and contributions, but also sharply regulates foreign influence over our system of government, especially when it comes from shady banks abroad. McCain served his country nobly. If you’re wondering how you could do something similar for your country, you’ve got your answer here. Work to pass a bill limiting the power of the few, and foreign powers, from controlling our politics.

When will the madness be addressed? Here we are again addressing yet another shooting, this time in Jacksonville, Florida, leaving three dead and 11 injured. Immediately afterward on Aug. 25, politicians and major networks jumped on this story for obvious publicity benefits. While any gun violence is deplorable and should be addressed, This Florida shooting comes during a weekend when 23 were gunned down in Chicago, leaving at least two dead. This is just three weeks after the worst bloody weekend in memory in Chicago when 74 were shot and with 12 dying. Yet, the situation in Chicago

apparently has become acceptable by politicians and major media with little coverage devoted to the plight. In the Jacksonville event, within hours the governor of Florida rushed to the scene and President Donald Trump issued a statement condemning the action. It doesn’t take rocket science to see these politicians are simply widow dressing and using a tragic event for publicity and photo op. Where were these people — Trump included — three weeks ago after 74 were shot in the Windy City? The time has long passed when the president should act proactively. An immediate response could be Trump sending hundreds of U.S.

Marshals into inner-city Chicago to enforce existing gun laws, holding shooters accountable for their actions — which is not being enforced now. President John F. Kennedy used U.S. Marshals quite effectively in dealing with civil rights racial violence in Mississippi in the early 1960s. The political hypocrisy in failing to address gun violence must stop now! As taxpayers, we must please speak up and speak out for all our safety. Sources: Chicago SunTimes: Aug. 27, 2018 Washington Times: Aug. 22, 2018 James W. Anderson Talledega

But Dawkins was just as impressed by those agencies who serve the community. “The lifesavers are these 28 agencies,” Dawkins said. “Just think about the 25,000 people they touched last year.” River Bank did more than just encourage employees to give. It established a raffle with more than $9,000 in items to be given away at the United Way Fashion Show Oct. 18. It also organizes the Ladies Luncheon in December where proceeds have totaled more than $10,000 for United Way over the years. Fuller added a twist to this year’s campaign by soliciting donations for disaster buckets. The idea was to present items to members of the community in need at times like dealing with a fire or as simple as needing a candy bar. Members of the United Way team and board along with representatives from the agencies will be visiting area employers to raise the funds for this

BATTLE OF HIGHWAY 49

REELTOWN VS. DADEVILLE:

County rivals to meet for 53rd time on the gridiron By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Folks around the state, and even around the country, get hyped for the Alabama-Auburn matchup. But folks around Tallapoosa County will certainly be out in droves Thursday night as one of the state’s most heated high school football rivalries is about to be settled again. Reeltown coach Matt Johnson has one thing in mind heading into the Rebels’ annual matchup with Dadeville. “We want this one bad,” he said. Dadeville and Reeltown have met on the gridiron every year dating back to 1972 and have had 52 meetings in total. The Rebels have won just 15 of those matchups and only one in the last decade. Adding even more motivation, Reeltown arguably should’ve won last year’s game after leading 10-0 at halftime. “They are dominating the record, and that’s even more motivation,” Johnson said. “We feel like we did not finish the game last year.” Reeltown (1-0) is considered the favorite this year, especially after having moved up to No. 4 in Class 2A in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association poll. And Dadeville, which is coming off a big win against Horseshoe Bend, knows exactly what it’s up against. “Anytime you get a win, it gives your team some confidence in what they’re doing,” Tiger coach Richard White said. “We still had some hiccups in places we’re still trying to work out, and the task at hand is

going to be a little more difficult this week. But again, it’s better to go into this game with a win than it is a loss.” While both teams have a solid defensive corps, it’s the offenses that should go toe to toe Friday night. Dadeville (1-0) got a huge game out of quarterback Slade McCullers, who had two passing touchdowns and two rushing last week against the Generals. He had several big throws and wasn’t afraid to scramble around to get the Tigers out of bad situations. “Slade does a great job and manages the game well,” Johnson said. “He’s the leader of that unit. I was very impressed with his reads and very impressed with how he limited negative plays. With that zone read, our secondary has to be involved in that. They do a lot of stuff where the secondary has to be involved in the run.” On the flip side, the Tigers are going to have

to be worried about the rushing attack of Reeltown. Cameron Faison went off for five touchdowns and more than 100 yards on the ground. The Rebels also have guys like Tre Tre Hughley and Keke Hughley to step in if Faison’s hot hands go a bit cold. “The main thing is we’ve gotta tackle well,” White said. “Reeltown’s running backs are really good, and they run with authority. What I mean by that is they run with a little meanness to ’em and we gotta learn to tackle those guys and get them to the ground.” Johnson said, “We’ll need another big week from our offensive line. Their effort was great; they really got after it. There’s still some things we have to fix after looking at film, but offensively, we had 11 guys who stayed in the picture, even on those long runs, and that was great to see.” As for dealing with

File / The Record

the rivalry, both coaches are working to make sure their players stay within themselves. With all the glitz and glamour of such a big game, it can be easy to get caught up in that hype. “We have to be smart enough not to take hold of every bit of it and just take the part that’s going to funnel us in the right direction,” Johnson said. “Excitement and hype are good; all that stuff that goes into a huge rivalry is good if it’s used the right way. With a team like this, especially with what they do offensively, you can get too hyped.” White mirrored those sentiments. “I try to do a good job of keeping that from happening,” he said. “The thing we have to do every day as a team is we have to get better at what we do. If we’re not doing that, we’re backing up and losing ground and we can’t afford to do that with this game coming up and this region coming up.”

Player spotlight Keke Hughley

Offensively, Reeltown got the hot hand from Cameron Faison last week, but against the Tigers, look out for Keke Hughley. Hughley is coming off an ACL tear that shortened his season a year ago, but with one game under his belt, look for Hughley to be a big factor in today’s game. Hughley had several long rushes against Bullock County last week, but a few were called back due to penalties. Assuming the Rebels can clean those up, Hughley will explode this week. Defensively, Lio Lewis is the guy to watch. Lewis is a threeyear starter for the Rebels on the defensive line and he racked up six tackles. Lewis has a nose for the ball and will put pressure on Dadeville’s offense.

Slade McCullers

Slade McCullers is the one to keep your eyes on tonight offensively. The quarterback was dominant last week against Horseshoe Bend, and tonight, you can expect him to run the Tiger offense with efficiency and poise. McCullers did a fine job of spreading things out amongst a crew of running backs and targeted several different receivers, and he also wasn’t afraid to get things done on his feet when necessary. Defensively, look out for Domunique Holley, a Tiger defensive end. Rebel coach Matt Johnson predicted Holley to be one of the best defensive linemen they face all year, and he had tackle after tackle against Horseshoe Bend last week. Holley anchored a defensive line that led the Tigers in tackles a week ago.

Tigers fall to HBS in opener

LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

It was pretty clear Monday’s matchup between Horseshoe Bend and Dadeville was the first volleyball game of the season around the area. Both teams looked a bit sluggish defensively and a bit unwieldy offensively. But Horseshoe Bend mounted a comeback in each of the first two sets then dominated Set 3 to take a sweep from the Tigers. “I feel like they got flustered and frustrated,” Dadeville coach Felicia Edwards said. “They just kind of gave up (in the third set) and weren’t concentrating.” It was easy for the Tigers to get frustrated after letting both of the first two sets slip away. Although both games were back and forth and came down to the wire, Dadeville had the chance at a set point in each. In the opening set, the Tigers led 24-23 before a service error allowed Horseshoe Bend to extend the game and eventually take a 27-25 victory. Then in Set 2, Dadeville committed an unforced error on set point and once again Horseshoe Bend won in extra points. “They came back and they didn’t give up,” Horseshoe Bend coach Julie Turner said. “Last year’s team, this early on, would’ve been like, ‘OK, we’re done,’ and they would’ve given up. They’re not as mentally tough as I would like for them to be but they are better than where they were at this point last year. I think we’re going to be OK but we need to be a little more aggressive overall.” Although the Generals walked away victorious, there were still a lot of obvious first-game jitters and things that needed to be cleaned up. “We had 12 serving errors in our

first game, and you can’t win a lot of ballgames with that,” Turner said. “But I told the girls that we can’t dwell on what we’ve done wrong; we also have to think about that we did right. We do have to work on what we’ve done wrong though.” Horseshoe Bend’s Maggie Wood led either team with 10 kills and the Generals also got solid contributions from Jahia Jennings and Nadia Freeman, both of whom are new to varsity volleyball. “Nadia still has a lot of learning to do (because she’s new to the sport completely),” Turner said. “Jahia does too because that was her first

varsity action. It’s a lot faster than what she’s used to but they both did well. I was pretty pleased with both of them. For the Tigers, things went downhill quickly after they let a lead slip away in the second set. Dadeville led by as much as 15-10 midway through the frame, but when Ashley Clanton stepped up to the service line for the Generals, things turned around. Horseshoe Bend reeled off nine straight points and from there, the Tigers never recovered. Dadeville had only two kills in the final set and eventually lost 25-12.

ith the talk of potentially lowering the shot clock in the NBA, I think the idea of a shot clock in high school basketball should be explored. This is always a tough subject for me because there are cases when I see how a shot clock could be detrimental in high school hoops. We’ve all seen those basketball games that are 50-12 after the first half and forcing the team that’s ahead to shoot isn’t benefitting anyone. With that being said, there’s no reason a shot clock would have to be enforced if, for instance, the mercy rule is under effect. Another argument I’ve heard against a high school shot clock is it works against teams who need time to develop plays, who are working on fundamentals and who aren’t as skilled at playing hurry-up ball. But my answer to that is the shot clock in high school obviously wouldn’t need to be nearly as stringent as it is in the NBA or even college. The NBA is talking about reducing its shot clock after an offensive rebound from 24 to 14 seconds. As far as I know this would only apply to offensive rebounds, meaning teams would already be set up in their offense and wouldn’t be as pressured to play quickly. But still, 14 seconds is not a lot of time. Neither is 24. I’m not even arguing for a 30-second clock, which is what NCAA men’s basketball uses. But I think it’d be worth looking into a 40- or 45-second shot clock, and with eight minute quarters in high school, that’s not really putting any pressure on anyone. The reason I argue so heavily for a shot clock is because I’ve seen too many high school basketball games where a team literally wastes time. In a tight ball game, if an opponent has so few fouls it’d be hard to stop the clock anyway or your team is really good at playing keep away, it can become watered down. I’ve also seen the last few minutes of the second quarter have virtually no action because one team’s point guard is standing just in front of half court, just a-bouncin’. One of the worst examples of the lack of a shot clock I saw happened back in Pennsylvania, and it actually backfired against the team that decided to stand around. The two teams were tied 35-35 and one with an extremely talented 3-point shooter gained possession. The team decided to play the waiting game with more than three and a half minutes on the clock. If you do the math, that’s nearly half of one quarter, or an eighth of the entire game. With about five seconds remaining, the point guard finally decided to drive the lane and kick it back for the potential 3-point dagger. The shot was right on target, but it bounced off the rim and out. The game went to overtime, and the opposing team won 42-37. What would’ve happened if those two teams just played those final three and a half minutes instead of standing around? Who knows. Maybe the results would’ve been the same, but it would’ve been a much better ending for everyone involved than 10 guys standing around on a court staring at each other in a tie ballgame. A shot clock would’ve stopped us all from momentarily falling asleep during what could’ve been a thrilling ending to what had been a great game. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Record.

The Dadeville Record

How are schools funded? By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Sales taxes, property taxes, state and federal government all contribute locally

County, city school funding data

Everyone agrees education is the way to escape almost anything. Everyone wants to compete with school systems from Mountain Brook, Huntsville and Auburn and improve the all areas of the state, from providing better graduates for college to developing the workforce. Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle believes the K-12 system is instrumental to lifting an area economically. “I am not an economic developer, but I know we can educate our way out of poverty,” Windle told the Tallapoosa County Commission at a recent meeting where discussion was centered on rescinding the 1-cent sales tax put in place three years ago. Everyone seems to think these popular school systems have endless money. But do they? How is education funded? Do school officials depend on the federal government and its mandates? Do they depend on the state of Alabama and its restrictions? Do they try and come up with the funds locally? In Tallapoosa County and throughout most of the state, it is a combination of the three. The state provides funding based on enrollment and a contribution 10-mils of property tax through the Education Foundation system to be shared across the state, but most receive far more than the 10-mils back as the state legislature adds money to the foundation program. State funding reached an all time high in 2008. Tallapoosa County received $6,074.24 from the state for every student enrolled while Alexander City received $5,545.05. The 2018 budget finally got state funding per student nearly back to the 2008 level, but many systems still struggle. With state funding nearly equal to the highest levels ever on a per student basis, Windle says Tallapoosa County Schools are not seeing the increase from the state. “Since 2008, we have seen per student state funding decline 17.8 percent,” Windle said. “That is the second largest reduction in state spending in the nation. Only Oklahoma has lost more.” One reason for the decrease in funding is decreased enrollment. Between fiscal years 2009 and 2017, county schools have lost 180 students system wide according to numbers from the Alabama State Department of Education. Alexander City Schools is no better having lost nearly 400 students in the same time frame. So while funding per pupil is the same at the state level, it can appear different at the local level as it is based on last year’s enrollment. It is why school officials harp on attendance, since it is easy funds to attain and a 10 student increase can fund another teacher. Administrators depend on federal and local funds to make up the gap left by state funding. Federal programs usually dictate underprivileged areas get more. According to the Alabama State Department of Education, Alexander City Schools received almost $200 less per student over Tallapoosa County Schools in 2017 where county schools received $1,466 per student and city schools $1,281.But that gap was much wider in 2008 when county schools

received $1,530.15 per student compared to $972.98 in the city schools. In Alabama, some systems receive significant federal funding. In 2017 Barbour County led federal funding on a per pupil basis at more than $3,000 per pupil. Many Black Belt counties where unemployment is high received significant amounts as well. At the same time the top funded system in the state, Mountain Brook received a paltry $171 per pupil. Mountain Brook leads the state in local funding at $7,001 per student in 2017. In the same year Tallapoosa County received $1,309 per pupil in local funds, Alexander City received $1,584 per student and Chambers County received $1,420. Macon County generated $1,881 in local funding for each student. Interestingly enough, Autauga County, where Prattville is located, generated just $664 per student in local funding in 2017 where the graduation rate was 91.51 percent in the same year, greater than the graduation rate in Tallapoosa County Schools at 90.32 percent. It is not surprising to most Mountain Brook leads in total funding at $12,811 per pupil in 2017, but what is interesting is Greene County is at No. 3 with $11,878 per pupil in total funding and Sumter County is at No. 6 with $11,430 per student in funding. Even Coosa County places at No. 28 with $10,124 per pupil in total funding, leading Opelika at No. 30 with $10,024 and Auburn at No. 79 with $9,106 per student. Elmore County is near the bottom at No. 134 out of 138 with $7,770 and Autauga County is No. 137 at $7,615 per student. But does funding equal quality education? Mountain Brook had more

than 96 percent of its students graduating in 2017 while Greene County had just 77.53 percent receiving a diploma. Sumter County had a graduation rate of 87.16 percent. Alexander City had a graduation rate of 91.24 percent and Tallapoosa County Schools had a graduation rate of 90.32 percent. Looking at those numbers, just funding education does not equate to a quality education. Following 2008, state funds were cut for education through lower collection of taxes. It was also the same time frame the economy was going downhill. Funding for education was based on projected revenues for the next year and could lead to problems like proration. The state prorated the education budgets in 2009, 2010 and 2011 due to revenues not matching expectations. Proration wreaked havoc with education budgets across the state. Funds were promised in the summer, but come January or February when collections were waning, state officials would cut funding for the remainder of the fiscal year making things extremely difficult. It would be something along the lines of financing a car based on today’s salary and a promising outlook for a raise next year, but in a few months the job is lost and the person is underemployed trying to cover the car payment by cutting elsewhere. School systems would start a program, hire personnel then have funding stripped. Officials would scrape pennies from transportation, capital plans, reserves and other areas to keep educators in the classroom. The issue of back to back to back proration made things worse until Alabama legislators removed the projected

revenue model of budgeting to the 15 year rolling average for the 2012 fiscal year. There has not been a prorated budget since. Local funding has filled the gap when the state has not. Three years ago, the Tallapoosa County Commission passed a 1-cent sales tax to help the county schools meet the state mandated one month’s operating reserve. Now that the reserve has been met, the commission is looking at rescinding the tax to open discussion about schools across Tallapoosa County since the tax as it is written now cannot be used to purchase bonds for larger projects and to make sure the county schools have plans going forward. The idea behind eliminating the sales tax has lead to a request from Dr. Darrell Cooper and the Alexander City Schools. “We have asked if they do away with it, they give some notice and do it on a fiscal year,” Cooper said. “We can better plan for not receiving the funds that way. To do away with it in the middle of budget year could lead to problems but we would still be OK.” Local funding, whether through a sales tax or property tax, is the only way for local schools to solve the funding issue of education. Former state representative and state senator John Rice spoke to the commission earlier this month in support of the 1-cent sales tax. Rice, along with Lester White were instrumental in getting the last local funding increase in Tallapoosa County in 1989 when a 1-cent sales tax was enacted to overcome a similar crisis in the county schools. It is still in place today. “There is only so much outside help you can get,” Rice said. “Then you have to start depending on yourself.”
