As Gov.-elect Brian Kemp prepares to take office, a Georgia nonprofit organization has identified school safety, teacher pay, early childhood education and school start dates as among its top 10 issues in education this year.
The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education’s annual “Top Ten Issues to Watch” report also analyzed the issues and predicts top legislative priorities.
State leaders and education experts, including state schools Superintendent Richard Woods, teamed up Friday to stress the significance of some of the 10 items, mainly school safety and elevating how teachers are compensated.
