Charter Schools Day; recognize February 26, 2025
This resolution (SR 257) is a ceremonial recognition of February 26, 2025, as "Charter Schools Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It does not create new laws or policies; it simply declares a day of acknowledgment for Georgia's charter schools. The resolution cites Georgia's charter school history, current enrollment (96 schools serving 65,000 students), and a study on student performance, but the bill itself has no binding effect on schools or students. The Senate adopted it on February 26, 2025, directing the Secretary to distribute copies to the Georgia Charter Schools Association and the public.
