From USA TODAY Network and wire reports Alabama Montgomery: After COVID-19 disrupted two school years, lawmakers on Monday voted to delay an upcoming state requirement for third graders to pass a reading test before moving up to the fourth grade. The House of Representatives voted 68-27 for the bill by Sen. Rodger Smitherman, D-Birmingham, that would delay the promotion requirement, now set to take effect next year, by two years.

FEMA chose to host a site in Memphis not because the city was behind on vaccinations. Instead, officials said, the choice was based on how the area scores on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s social vulnerability index. The score calculates 15 weighted Census factors, including poverty, transportation access and housing, which are used to estimate vulnerability to disasters or disease. Still, the continued low turnout at the Pipkin site, located near the Liberty Bowl and Fairgrounds, was cause for FEMA s departure. In late April, city officials acknowledged FEMA could decide to extend its stay after a planned May 17 drawdown date, but that the agency probably would leave if turnout stayed low. ....
