Georgia's House budget proposes first-ever spending boost for low-income students, $28 million allocated

Georgia's House has approved a historic budget proposal allocating $28 million to support low-income public school students, marking the first time such funding has been proposed. However, experts argue that the amount is insufficient, calling for at least $625 million to address the needs of disadvantaged students. While this is a positive step forward, advocates stress that more substantial funding is needed to close the education gap and improve academic outcomes for Georgia's low-income youth.
