In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Kelly Goldin, a teacher at Model High School, who was selected as the school's 2026 STAR Teacher, an award recognizing outstanding classroom teaching. The resolution states that quality education is a top priority for the General Assembly and praises Goldin's commitment to her students and her contributions to education in Georgia. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Goldin, giving her a formal keepsake of the honor. The resolution does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
