Bill > SR221

This resolution congratulates Believe Greater Dalton, a strategic planning initiative of the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce, for receiving the Georgia Reads Community Award, which recognizes communities that have formed sustained literacy improvement partnerships. The resolution highlights how Believe Greater Dalton has built a collaborative framework over the past decade, bringing together local educational institutions (including Dalton Public Schools, Dalton State College, and Georgia Northwestern Technical College), community organizations, healthcare professionals, and nonprofit groups to improve school readiness and ensure children are reading at grade level by third grade. The B8 team, which meets bi-monthly, represents a key partnership mechanism for achieving these literacy goals. The resolution commends the organization for demonstrating measurable improvements in reading proficiency and serving as an inspiration for community-driven solutions to literacy challenges. Furthermore, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Believe Greater Dalton as a formal recognition of their important work.
