Priorities

Our campaign approach is to strive towards excellence and compassion while always beginning and ending with what is in the best interest for our kids across the state. We can do this through collaboration with organizations and other strategic partners that can supplement needed resources to ensure both our kids and families can thrive in our schools. The initiatives below were developed and expanded during our "listening phase", where we gained valuable input from educators, parents and students across Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Education oversees public education throughout the state, ensuring that laws and regulations pertaining to education are followed and that state and federal money appropriated for education is properly allocated to local school systems. The department also informs parents, teachers, government officials, and the media of education-related news.
