Education Policy Education Policy This paper will compare the education policy initiatives in four states seeking to show the amount of legislation going into education. The four states reviewed are Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The states researched are different in many ways and the same in others. The policies highlighted in each state show the importance of education to the constituents of the state. Let us take a closer look at the policies of these four southern states.
