Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends Kelly Goldin, a teacher at Model High School, for being named the school's 2026 STAR Teacher. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally commends Kelly Goldin for being named Model High School's 2026 STAR Teacher. - States the House of Representatives' recognition of her contributions to education and student welfare. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Goldin. - Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing program; it is a one-time honorary statement. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names Kelly Goldin, a teacher at Model High School. It does not impose duties or effects on any broader group of Georgians, schools, or agencies beyond the House Clerk's office, which must produce a copy of the resolution. ### Why it matters The resolution has no practical legal effect on Georgians generally; it is a symbolic gesture recognizing one teacher's achievement. Its main real-world consequence is that Goldin receives an official copy of the House's commendation for her teaching award. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses state the General Assembly's view that quality education is important and describe Goldin's recognition as Model High School's 2026 STAR Teacher. - The resolving clause formally commends Goldin and expresses well wishes for her continued success. - A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Goldin. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-04-02) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-04-02) - Sponsors: Eddie Lumsden, Matt Barton, Katie Dempsey - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/74705 > The history, votes, and amendments (134 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr2092.md?full=1
