En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Pamela J. Brown, who has served on the Rockdale County Board of Education since 2017 and as its Chairwoman since 2023, for her leadership during a period when the district maintained Exemplary Board status, reduced its millage rate (the tax rate used to calculate property taxes), and kept the school system debt free. The resolution also credits her tenure with gains in graduation rates, Advanced Placement participation, gifted program enrollment, and career pathway completion. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for presentation to Brown. The resolution has no regulatory or funding effect and does not alter any Georgia statute.
