Supreme Court will weigh in on effort to found nation’s first religious charter school - SCOTUSblog The Supreme Court on Friday afternoon added three more cases – two of which will be argued together – to its docket for the 2024-25 term.

Legislature ‘24: Rethink education funding so all kids get equitable shot The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute's education director urges the 2024 General Assembly to spend more to educate kids in poverty and help school bus programs.
