Senator Paul Sanford Secures Vital Funding for Schools and College
(HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA) – Senator Paul Sanford (R-Huntsville) today announced additional funding for the Madison County Board of Education, the Huntsville City School System and Alabama A & M University. The allocations are part of the Alabama Public School & College Authority (APSCA) from interest income for the Series 2007 Bonds.
According to confirmation letters received by Sen. Sanford and signed by Governor Bob Riley, two Madison County Schools will receive a total of $150,000, a Huntsville City School will receive $225,000 and Alabama A & M will receive $125,000. The funds will be used for long-overdue capital improvements at seven facilities, including Hazel Green High School, Riverton Middle School, Chapman Elementary School, and four dormitories at Alabama A & M.
“While running for office earlier this year, I learned about the great needs at our schools,” said Senator Sanford. “One of the first goals I worked toward once in office was to secure this funding for our school systems and university. I appreciate the support of our local delegation, the Governor and the APSCA in helping us achieve this undertaking,” he continued.
“We are very thankful to Senator Sanford for so quickly taking the reins and helping us find a way to pay for the necessary improvement projects at Hazel Green High School and Riverton Middle School,” said Madison County Superintendent Dr. Terry Davis. “During these tough economic times that continue to cause proration, we value any additional support we can get to better the educational environment for our students and staff,” Dr. Davis said.
Paul Sanford was elected to the Alabama Senate in a special election in June. He and his wife Danielle own and operate “little Paul’s Barbecue” in Huntsville. The couple has two children, Chase and Ryan.
