 State Board of Education


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Georgia Board of Education with the State School Superintendent will provide the statewide leadership ​necessary to ensure the opportunity for each public school student to be successf​ul. We will work to create an environment in which local schools and systems are empowered to develop policies and programs that meet the educational needs of their students, that support teachers, and that involve parents and communities in​​ the education process.
