HR775: HR775 Anderson, Carlene; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Carlene Anderson. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes her career as an educator that began in 2002 in New Jersey, her move to Georgia in 2014 to teach in Gwinnett County Public Schools, and her later work advocating for students and families through Parent Teacher Student Associations after an injury ended her classroom teaching in 2019. The resolution also acknowledges her recovery from breast cancer treatment between 2023 and 2024. It formally commends her contributions to young people in Georgia and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
