This resolution congratulates the Ben Hill County School District for receiving the Georgia Reads Community Award, recognizing its outstanding efforts to improve literacy through collaborative community partnerships. The resolution highlights that the district has worked with multiple organizations like Communities in Schools, L4GA, CLCP, the local Chamber of Commerce, medical center, and other civic groups to address educational barriers such as poverty and lack of resources. By implementing innovative programs, the district has achieved measurable improvements in reading proficiency, creating greater opportunities for student success. The Georgia Council on Literacy, which established the Georgia Reads Community Award, seeks to recognize communities that have sustained literacy improvement partnerships for at least three years. The resolution not only commends the Ben Hill County School District for its dedication but also instructs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an official copy of the resolution to the district, formally acknowledging their significant achievements in literacy development.
