A Georgia House of Representatives committee will release its final recommendations Thursday afternoon on what role the federal government should play in education.
Lawmakers created a study committee earlier this year in response to questions and criticisms, primarily among conservatives and tea party activists, of federal invovlement in education as well as Georgia’s participation in the hotly debated Common Core education standards. Common Core was created by state education departments and private nonprofit groups to be a common set of education standards nationwide.
The meeting will begin at 1 p.m. in the Coverdell Legislative Office Building, Room 606, 18 Capitol Square, in downtown Atlanta.
There will be no public comment at the meeting. The recommendations are likely to be reviewed for adoption by the Georgia Legislature when it meets next year.
