A
RESOLUTION
Creating
the House Study Committee on Reporting Requirements for Local School Systems;
and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
the General Assembly is concerned with the increasing number of reports and data
that are required to be submitted by local school systems; and
WHEREAS,
both the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia General Assembly
require local school systems to submit periodic and annual reports and data in
various areas; and
WHEREAS,
it has been stated that time and resources that local school systems, educators,
and administrators have to expend on gathering data and submitting reports is
time that is taken away from the day to day operations of a local school system;
and
WHEREAS,
the General Assembly believes that it is in the best interests of the public
education system of Georgia to review the reporting requirements of local school
systems and to determine whether such reports are necessary to the goals of
public education or whether such reports are obsolete and
unnecessary.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that there is created
the House Study Committee on Reporting Requirements for Local School Systems to
be composed of five members. Five members of the House of Representatives shall
be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives to be members of the
committee. The Speaker of the House of Representatives shall designate a member
of the committee to serve as chairperson. The chairperson shall call all
meetings of the committee.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee may conduct such meetings at such places
and at such times as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to
exercise fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish
the objectives and purposes of this resolution. The legislative members of the
committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of
interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than
three days unless additional days are authorized. The funds necessary to carry
out the provisions of this resolution shall come from the funds appropriated to
the House of Representatives. No allowance shall be paid for other members of
the committee. In the event the committee makes a report of its findings and
