This resolution creates a House Study Committee on Reducing and Prioritizing Mandates for Public School Administration, which will be composed of six members of the Georgia House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker. The committee's primary purpose is to review existing mandates affecting public school administration, examining how these requirements potentially divert attention from student learning and determining which mandates might be outdated or ineffective. The committee is authorized to conduct meetings at its discretion, with legislative members receiving standard allowances for up to five days of work. By December 1, 2025, the committee must file a report with the House Clerk detailing its findings, which may include recommendations for legislative or policy changes aimed at reducing administrative burdens on school systems. The resolution stems from a recognition that while public education is a shared responsibility between state and local authorities, the accumulation of various statutory and regulatory mandates can overwhelm school administrators and potentially detract from their core mission of supporting student learning.
