En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives designates February 12, 2025 as Afterschool Day at the state capitol. It is a ceremonial measure rather than a change to state law or funding. The resolution lists reasons for the recognition, including survey data suggesting many more Georgia children would attend afterschool programs if one were available, and details about the Building Opportunities in Out-of-School Time (BOOST) grants program, a partnership between the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network that has distributed about $85 million to afterschool and summer learning programs. It also names other providers such as 21st Century Community Learning Centers, 4-H, YMCAs, and Boys and Girls Clubs. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy to the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network.
