State of Georgia; increase minimum school drop out age from 16 to 17 years old; support

This is a symbolic resolution (not a binding law) supporting Georgia's potential policy change to raise the minimum school dropout age from 16 to 17 years. It does not directly affect students or change current law, but expresses the Georgia House's endorsement of such a policy. The resolution cites statistics on graduation rates, economic impacts of dropouts, and research linking higher education to better outcomes as justification. It aims to encourage state action to improve educational attainment and workforce readiness for Georgia students.
