Alabama Constitution Section 263 School funds not to be used for support of sectarian or denominational schools
Alabama Constitution – Section 263
📜 Title: School funds not to be used for support of sectarian or denominational schools
🔹 Summary:
Section 263 prohibits the use of public school funds for the support of religious (sectarian or denominational) schools.
⚖️ Key Points:
No money raised for public schools (through taxes or otherwise) may be used to benefit any religious school—whether directly or indirectly.
This includes sectarian (related to specific religious sects) or denominational (linked to particular religious denominations) institutions.
The intent is to maintain a separation between church and state in Alabama’s public education system.
🧠 Purpose:
To ensure that public education funding remains neutral and secular, and is only used for public schools, not religiously affiliated ones.
