How? You're taking a smaller and smaller percentage of native Alabama kids relative to the overall population each year. If your population has grown 15% over the past ten years, but you're taking a fixed number of native Alabamians, you're doing it wrong.

It hasn't. More like 2%. That translates into a couple hundred students over that time frame, or 15 students per class. The offsetting benefit of a few % of the OOS students settling in Alabama is arguably greater.

No, they're not. The number of in state students has grown proportionally more than the population increase.
