Georgia Legislation Update

The start of a new calendar year is also the start of our Georgia General Assembly legislative session.  Georgia PTA has asked us to share the following request for action:  
 
TAKE ACTION: please contact your legislators and ask them to allocate $4 million to fully fund the Georgia Apex Program.  Our students need more access to mental health resources and support. Our friends at Voices for Georgia's Children have assembled information about Georgia's crisis in juvenile behavioral health.  
 
School counselors: the current formula provides 1 counselor for every 450 students, even though best practice is 1 counselor for every 250 students. The "QBE formula" needs to be changed to meet this standard. Additionally, the state needs to provide the funding for counselors to support special needs, ELL, gifted, and remedial students as required by legislation passed in 2013.
 


Baccalaureate Coordinator Needed!

We are in need of a Baccalaureate Coordinator!  The Baccalaureate will be held Sunday, May 15 at 3:00 pm. The Coordinator(s) will plan and implement all aspects of the event.

 

Anyone interested and/or seeking more information can email Joni.Murphy@Comcast.net.
