The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) invites parents, educators, students, and community members to help shape the Georgia's education plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). A series of feedback meetings are being held across the state this fall. Information about these meetings and materials to prepare for the feedback sessions are available on the GaDOE website. For those unable to attend an in-person meeting, a survey opportunity will be announced soon and posted on the GaDOE website. Feedback also can be emailed to essa@doe.k12.ga.us.
