In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Veroniece P. Marable for 41 years of work in education in the Atlanta area. It recounts her career highlights, including being named Teacher of the Year twice and serving as a Success for All Facilitator, a role focused on improving literacy instruction and mentoring other teachers. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally states that the House recognizes and honors Marable for her service and leadership, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
