10/3/22 - Decades ago, many Southern states decided to fund schools using formulas that provided additional funding for students from low-income families. This student-centered approach was a turning point for the South and greatly improved education and opportunity in the region.

Unfortunately, since then many states have not continued with this approach and are falling behind in providing schools with the resources necessary to keep pace with the needs of their students.

9/17/22 - Georgia’s school funding formula should be overhauled to steer more resources toward students from low-income families, educators, parents, and students from Chatham County told a state Senate study committee Friday.

The Senate formed the Study Committee to Review Education Funding Mechanisms this year to look for ways to modernize the state’s Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula, which dates back to the 1980s.

3/12/22 - On Tuesday, members of the Senate Education and Youth committee voted to advance a private school voucher bill, Senate Bill 601, without accepting public comment. This bill is one of several such proposals to divert public funds away from public schools.
