Bill > SR219

This resolution recognizes ReadSource and Purpose Built Schools of Atlanta as recipients of the Georgia Reads Community Award for their outstanding efforts in literacy advancement. The resolution highlights the organizations' collaborative work in providing targeted literacy support to struggling readers, specifically at Atlanta Public Schools' Slater Elementary and Price Middle School, where ReadSource remediation specialists work with students in small group settings with a low 1:3 specialist-to-student ratio. The Georgia Council on Literacy established the Georgia Reads Community Award to honor partnerships of two or more organizations that have sustained literacy improvement efforts for at least three years. The resolution commends these organizations for their meaningful partnerships, which include ReadSource, Purpose Built Schools of Atlanta, and The Schenck School, and acknowledges their significant contributions to improving reading proficiency and creating greater opportunities for educational and career success. The Senate officially congratulates and commends these organizations for their exemplary service and commitment to community-driven literacy solutions, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to ReadSource and Purpose Built Schools of Atlanta.
