HR846: HR846 AgriTech Solutions Program in Clayton County Public Schools; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the AgriTech Solutions Program run by Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) and the district's Office of STEM and Innovation, which has helped 11 schools earn STEM certification and expanded STEM and computer science programs across more than 28 schools. The resolution highlights hands-on agricultural learning, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and traditional gardening, as well as the Agriteens Club at Mundy's Mill High School, which uses a game-based entrepreneurship curriculum called Community On-Demand. It also notes partnerships with industry, higher education institutions, and the Georgia Women in Agriculture Association. The resolution formally commends the program and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy to Clayton County Public Schools.
