In plain language
This is a commendation resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes Monique LaSean Jackson, citing her more than 20 years as a special education classroom instructor in several public school systems and over three decades of volunteer service with groups such as the Federation of Families Chapter, the M3 Youth MOVE Chapter, the 8745 Group, and Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. The resolution also notes her membership in the Order of the Eastern Star and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Jackson as a keepsake of the honor.
