Statement of Governor Sonny Perdue Regarding Final Passage of the Classrooms First for Georgia Act

ATLANTA – Governor Sonny Perdue issued the following statement today regarding final passage of his Classrooms First for Georgia Act (SB390):

“I'd like to thank the members of the General Assembly for passing this important piece of legislation that will put resources where Georgia 's children need them most.  Students perform best when at least 65 percent of education dollars are spent in the classroom, where learning occurs.  Making classroom spending a priority and providing our hard working teachers with more classroom resources will give our students the best opportunity to reach their fullest potential.”
