“The purpose of education...is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions.”

— James Baldwin

Georgia senators need to hear from YOU on how to fund schools!

The Georgia Senate passed SR 650: The Senate Study Committee to Review Education Funding Mechanisms.

Five state senators will meet this Fall to discuss how schools should be funded in Georgia. Find more information about the meeting dates and times here.

You should give public testimony!

The committee has set up a link to submit public testimony that the senators will consider as they create recommendations for the upcoming legislative session.

Make sure our lawmakers know that it’s time Georgia provides funding to educate students living in poverty.

Georgia is one of only six states in the nation that does not provide specific funding to educate students living in poverty. Funding for these students HAS TO BE in this committee’s recommendations moving forward. You can read more about this proposal, we’re calling an Opportunity Weight, in this helpful one-pager.

Tell them what else you want money for in Georgia’s public schools.

We need more school counselors, wraparound services, healthy meals, and better pay for teachers/bus drivers/para pros/everyone. Make your voice heard today on how we need to Fund Georgia’s Future.

Fund Georgia's Future Survey

To learn more about the impact of Georgia’s school funding system, we want to hear from you!

Educational equity depends on two main factors. The first is fairness, which implies that factors specific to one's personal conditions should not interfere with the potential of academic success. The second important factor is inclusion, which refers to a comprehensive standard that applies to everyone in a certain education system. These two factors are closely related and depend on each other for an educational system's success.
