Dear Friend,

Today, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal delivered his sixth State of the State address and reaffirmed the state’s commitment to building a better education system for all Peach State students.

The Foundation for Excellence in Education (@ExcelinEd) applauds Governor Deal for being a tireless champion for education reforms that benefit all of Georgia’s students. Governor Deal used his state of the state address to underscore his dedication to ensuring that the state’s education system be student-centered and focused on improving achievement.GovDeal Quote

Governor Deal said, “The education of Georgia’s children is too important to be held hostage to a status quo that may feel comfortable to certain adults but is a disservice to our students. The method whereby we educate our children must be as modern and adaptive to the changes in the world as our cell phones, our computers, our televisions and our automobiles. If it is not, our children will stumble and fall when they step onto the escalator of life outside the schoolhouse door.”

Education highlights in Governor Deal’s remarks included:

We are working to build an American education system that prepares our students for success in the future economy. We are thankful for Governors and legislatures across the country – like Georgia’s – that see the value in reform and partner with us in this important effort.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

J Alex
