{{#evp:youtube|vdsa3zVu8sU|Gov. Haley on education reform|left|210}}
In May 2012, Haley signed H. 3241, the Charter Schools bill, another [[ALEC]] piece of model legislation, and said of the new law: ""It is a great day in South Carolina. We will no longer settle for what we think education has to be, we will lead in this country on what education should be -- and that means options, innovation and creativity." <ref> Haley, Nikki [http://governor.sc.gov/News/May2012/Pages/default.aspx] May 14, 2012 </ref>
Haley also met with corporations like [[AT&T]], an [[ALEC]] corporation member and state co-chair of six states, to talk education reform on July 31, 2013. Pamela Lackey, president of [[AT&T]] of South Carolina said South Carolina needed education reform to "meet the needs of today's businesses." <ref> Beam, Adam [http://www.thestate.com/2013/07/31/2892219/gov-nikki-haley-meets-with-business.html Gov.
