In plain language
This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Dr. Noris Price, who has served as Superintendent of Baldwin County Schools since 2014. The resolution recounts her career, including raising the district's graduation rate from 66 percent to 85 percent, securing more than $10 million in grant funding, and leading the district through an accreditation process. It also details her earlier roles as a teacher, principal, and deputy superintendent, her education credentials, and awards such as the 2022 Georgia Superintendent of the Year. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states that the House recognizes and commends Dr. Price and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
