# O.C.G.A. § 20-2-980. Expenditures for uniforms for maintenance, food service, or custodial personnel.

The board of education of each county school system is authorized to expend its educational funds for the purpose of providing uniforms for its school maintenance, food service, or custodial personnel. Expenditures for such purposes shall be for educational purposes by facilitating the identification of school maintenance, food service, or custodial personnel, thereby controlling unauthorized access to school campuses and promoting the public health and the safety of students.

## History
