Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends the Korean-American School of Atlanta for its work teaching Korean language, culture, and history since 1981. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends the Korean-American School of Atlanta on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives. - States the House's praise for the school's staff, board of trustees, parents, and students for their contributions. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the school. - Extends the House's best wishes for the school's continued growth and success, without creating any new legal requirement. ### Who it affects The Korean-American School of Atlanta, including its principal, board of trustees, staff, parents, and students, is the direct subject of this recognition. It has no regulatory or financial effect on other schools, agencies, or the general public. ### Why it matters The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight: it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements. Its practical effect is a formal, public statement of appreciation from the state legislature toward a specific community institution. ### Key provisions - The resolved clause has the House of Representatives recognize and commend the Korean-American School of Atlanta for its contributions to Georgia citizens. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to the school. - The whereas clauses describe KASA's founding in 1981, its mission of teaching Korean language and culture, and its leadership under Principal Shim Jun-hee. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-01-27) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-01-27) - Sponsors: Soo Hong, Matt Reeves, Sandy Donatucci, Samuel Park, Scott Hilton - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/72444 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1093.md?full=1
