It’s a sham. Underinvestment so that you can claim a surplus makes for good political headlines but has negative impact on hardworking Georgia families and small businesses that aren’t being well served by state. Mental and physical health, education, housing, etc. all suffer.
Georgia ended the fiscal year on June 30 way ahead of what Gov. Brian Kemp and his economic team projected and budgeted, which means a third consecutive healthy surplus — this time in the range of $5 billion. #gapol ajc.com/politics/state…
No lies detected…
My non-teacher friends: I’m so jealous of your summer off. Me: yesterday I had a colonoscopy, today I went to the orthopedist, tomorrow I’m having my teeth cleaned.
Unbelievable

#SB233 vouchers only create more inequity in Georgia and our @GaBudget put that into a map! #gapol
Just in: @GovKemp backs a measure to fund a $6,500 per student yearly voucher for private school tuition or expenses. He tells @EWErickson the measure the Senate passed is a “good bill” and urged the House to approve. “I’m hopeful we can get this over the finish line.” #gapol
🚨 STOP Senate Bill 233 🚨 The House Education Policy Subcommittee will hear #SB233 on Monday at 8am, which would privatize education through vouchers. Call House Education members & ask them to vote NO on SB 233. Our Director of Education gives more info #SaveOurSchools #GApol
Senate Ed Committee Passes Voucher Bill; Literacy Bills Advance in House and Senate. Details in the Day 25 report: bit.ly/3IxeO4w
The time is now: Voucher vote on Monday. Here's what you can do - mailchi.mp/27fdaf76ddf4/c…
Voucher Call to Action! Lawmakers dropped a new voucher bill yesterday (Senate Bill 233) and it’s poised to drain millions away from public schools to discriminatory private education. Call/email/text your senator and ask them to vote NO on SB 233. mailchi.mp/0a04ea3f32dd/c…
There’s lots of talk of using evidence to inform #education policy But since 2010 you’d be hard-pressed to find evidence as consistent or as one-sided as two basic results: Funding #publicschools has a big, reliable return on investment, and #schoolvouchers devastate academics
Something is amiss in the budget and @StephenJOwens_ on #Insights23 pulling back the curtain! Districts are scrambling as they heard about this the same time the rest of us did - when the budget dropped last Friday @GaBudget #gapol
We’ve been talking about this since 2014. We’ve told you it’s coming, and why, and yet people still seem shocked.
Just in: @GovKemp backs a measure to fund a $6,500 per student yearly voucher for private school tuition or expenses. He tells @EWErickson the measure the Senate passed is a “good bill” and urged the House to approve. “I’m hopeful we can get this over the finish line.” #gapol
Districts or schools that remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas, have no idea of the immediate and long term damage they are doing to these students. These may be classes that help them love school.
Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!
Generally speaking, except for some executive positions & political appointments, the vast majority of state workers are significantly underpaid. Among other things, this leads to high turnover & challenges with recruitment. We get what we pay for, and we aren’t paying enough.
You could certainly change “healthcare” to education…

We don’t wade into national politics much, but come on….
A Teacher can write off $300 in school supplies in one year. In one year, Donald Trump wrote off $70,000 for his hair.
We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, & classes like Music, Art, Physical Education.But they have been taken away or reduced to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/ emotional skills & misbehavior that come with lack of it.
