Bill > HB517

This bill, known as the Student Success Support Act, aims to establish a grant program through the State Board of Education to provide supplemental remedial education services in literacy and math for students in kindergarten through 12th grade who attend the lowest-performing five percent of public schools in Georgia. Specifically, the bill authorizes up to $3 million per school year in grants to local school systems and public schools, with the goal of addressing academic deficiencies in these low-performing schools. The grant allocation will be based on cumulative individual school ratings from the Office of Student Achievement over the two most recent school years, and the funding is subject to appropriations. By targeting schools with the most significant performance challenges, the bill seeks to provide additional educational support and resources to help students improve their academic skills in critical areas like reading and mathematics.
