About this Event
We invite you to join the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education for our upcoming Critical Issues Forum, "Maximizing Opportunity Amid Evolving Federal & State Roles in Education" on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM at The Gathering Spot. (Registration, networking, and breakfast begin at 9:30 a.m. The program will start promptly at 10:00 a.m.)
As the landscape of education governance continues to evolve, the lines between federal, state, and local responsibilities are shifting. These changes impact everything from funding, to accountability and innovation. This forum will examine how these changes shape opportunity in Georgia’s education system and what leaders can do to navigate this dynamic environment. Discussions will focus on how policymakers, educators, and community advocates can work together to align resources, expand access, and ensure every student benefits from a coherent and effective education system.
