This resolution commends Marietta City Schools for receiving the Georgia Reads Community Award, a recognition given to communities with sustained, strategic literacy improvement partnerships. The resolution highlights the school district's innovative "Literacy & Justice For All" initiative, which supports language and literacy development from pregnancy through age five, involving partnerships with organizations like United Way of Greater Atlanta, Rollins Center for Language and Literacy, Cobb Collaborative, and Wellstar. The Georgia Council on Literacy established the award to recognize communities actively addressing low literacy rates, and Marietta City Schools has demonstrated significant achievements by developing programs that have measurably increased reading proficiency and created greater opportunities for educational and career success. The resolution officially congratulates Marietta City Schools for their exemplary service and commits to distributing an official copy of the resolution to the school district, serving as a formal acknowledgment of their commitment to community-driven literacy advancement.
