Georgia Public Policy Foundation President and CEO Kyle Wingfield released this statement following passage of the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act, Senate Bill 233 today.
“We are pleased to see the Georgia House of Representatives take a significant step toward empowering Georgia’s families to choose the education that best fits the needs of each child in our state. If fully funded, the initial implementation of Georgia Promise Scholarships could serve almost 22,000 students — immediately making it the largest private choice program in our state. We look forward to final passage of Senate Bill 233 and the implementation of this vital new program, so that Georgians can see for themselves the benefits of ensuring every child gets the quality education needed to unlock their full, God-given potential.”
