Lt. Governor Burt Jones on Georgia Promise Scholarship Act

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 23, 2024

ATLANTA | Today, Lt. Governor Burt Jones issued a statement on the signing of Senate Bill 233, the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act". This legislation was a priority of the Lt. Governor for the 2024 Legislative Session.

"As a longtime proponent of school choice, I am proud of the General Assembly for passing the most substantive initiative in decades," said Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones. "I want to thank Governor Kemp for his support for school choice and education freedom within our state. Today's signing of SB 233 is a great step in the right direction, however, there is still more work to be done to give parents the choice and resources that can meet their child's unique educational needs. I look forward to working with Governor Kemp and my colleagues in the General Assembly to ensure educational freedom in Georgia."
