ATLANTA (July 17, 2019) | Sen. Emanuel Jones (D – Decatur) was recently appointed to the Senate Study Committee on the Financial Efficiency Star Rating by Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan.
“The Financial Efficiency Star Rating system is an important measurement of how school districts allocate their funds on a per-student basis and how that relates to academic performance,” said Sen. Jones. “However, the potential for disparities exist, especially when comparing schools with varying sizes. I look forward to working with other members of this study committee to find potential solutions to addressing this oversight. I want to thank Lt. Governor Duncan for appointing me to serve on this committee and I am eager to get to work.”
The Senate Study Committee on the Financial Efficiency Star Rating was created through the passage of Senate Resolution 452, sponsored by Sen. Jones, during the 2019 Legislative Session. The committee is composed of five members of the Senate and will study the state’s Financial Efficiency Star Rating process and suggest any potential changes. The committee is required to submit their findings by December 1, 2019.
