House Study Committee on Student Attendance in PreK-12 Education; create

HR 711 creates a temporary House Study Committee to examine chronic absenteeism in Georgia's PreK-12 schools, directly affecting school districts and students with high absence rates. The committee will study root causes like health issues, transportation barriers, and school climate, and evaluate best practices to improve attendance. It has no funding or policy provisions but will issue recommendations by December 2025. The committee expires on December 1, 2025, after completing its review. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a bill with direct policy changes.)
