En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Dr. Mike Looney, who has led Fulton County Schools, Georgia's fourth-largest school district, since June 2019, overseeing more than 87,000 students across 104 schools. The resolution cites his work on academic achievement, career readiness, dropout prevention, literacy, and financial management, including maintaining the district's AAA credit rating. It also credits him with guiding the district through Georgia's first school-related COVID-19 case and launching the post-pandemic 'Bridge to Success' plan, which the resolution says helped the district reach a 90.7 percent graduation rate in 2023. The Senate directs that a copy of the resolution be given to Dr. Looney.
