Legislative Hotline |
|
|
|
Georgia's Legislative session is 40 days long. 40 days to decide all the important matters facing Georgia, including education issues. Everyday that the legislature is in session, GAE publishes a Legislative Hotline Update to highlight legislation that affects education in Georgia. They also let members know how to get involved in the issues and who to contact if they want to make their voices heard at the Capitol. Please check it out and subscribe if you want to have the latest information! Feel free to share it with your fellow members and show non-members that GAE/CCAE members are the best informed public educators in Georgia! |
