HR 1093: The Korean-American School of Atlanta; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any statute or funding. It recognizes the Korean-American School of Atlanta (KASA), founded in 1981, for its mission of teaching Korean language, culture, and history and for fostering pride in Korean heritage among students. The resolution praises the school's principal, board of trustees, staff, parents, and students for building KASA into what it calls a renowned cultural and educational institution. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the school as a formal token of recognition.

• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to the school.
