Charter Schools Day at the state capitol; February 26, 2025; recognize
This resolution designates February 26, 2025, as "Charter Schools Day" at Georgia's state capitol to symbolically recognize charter schools. It does not create new policies or funding; instead, it formally acknowledges Georgia's 96 charter schools, their 65,000 enrolled students, and their role in serving communities across all 159 counties. The resolution cites a Stanford study showing charter school students outperforming peers in reading and math, and notes 21,000 students remain on charter school waitlists. The House adopted it to honor charter school educators and leaders, directing the Clerk to distribute copies to the Georgia Charter Schools Association and media.
