In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Mrs. Becky Futch, a longtime teacher at Cook High School in Adel, Georgia, who is retiring in May after 30 years in the classroom. The resolution recounts her education and career, from graduating as salutatorian and STAR student at Cook High School in 1991 through earning degrees from Valdosta State University and a master's degree from Troy State University. The Senate formally commends her for her teaching and service and extends good wishes for her retirement. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her, which is standard for these commemorative measures.
