 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.

 

Georgia's Congressional Districts
The State Board of Education's ​districts are aligned with Georgia's Congressional Districts. To find out which Congressional District you live in, use the
