A Georgia House resolution formally commends Monique LaSean Jackson, a longtime special education teacher and community volunteer, for her public service to the state. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Monique LaSean Jackson for her decades of work as a special education teacher and her volunteer service across several community organizations. The resolution recites her career as a classroom instructor for over 20 years and her more than 30 years of volunteer work with groups such as the Federation of Families Chapter, the M3 Youth MOVE Chapter, the 8745 Group, and Jack and Jill of America. It also notes her membership in the Order of the Eastern Star and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
