Senate Study Committee on Combating Chronic Absenteeism in Schools; create

SR 217 creates a Senate Study Committee focused on addressing chronic absenteeism (students missing 10% or more of school days) affecting over 21.7% of Georgia students. The committee, composed of six Senate members appointed by the President, will study causes like health issues, transportation barriers, and family instability, then recommend solutions by December 1, 2025. This procedural resolution does not enact new laws but directs the committee to gather input from schools, families, and communities to inform future policy.
