A group called Georgians for Local Area School Systems is pushing Georgia lawmakers to allow creation of smaller school districts.
The organization, GLASS for short, supports House Resolution 486, which would allow cities formed after 2005 to start their own school districts, reports WABE.
GLASS co-founder Erika Harris says smaller school districts will help improve the situation inside Georgia’s classrooms.
“Nationwide, there are only 30 systems that are over 95,000 students,” Harris told WABE. “And three of those systems are in Georgia, and Georgia has a long way to go when we’re talking about national competitiveness with education.”
