In 2026, GeorgiaCAN will work toward the following nine policy goals to strengthen the education system in Georgia:
GeorgiaCAN will work to support charter schools with financing solutions for facilities to address their top growth restraint in the Peach State.
GeorgiaCAN will also build on last year’s passage of a law that incentivizes local charter school approval by growing the appropriation.
GeorgiaCAN will work to fully fund the Georgia Promise Scholarship, opening the opportunity to more students and their families.
GeorgiaCAN will secure funding to increase the number of literacy coaches in the state as the next step in their package of literacy reforms.
GeorgiaCAN will create a system to guarantee access to advanced math for middle school students who have demonstrated readiness.
GeorgiaCAN will establish an evaluation framework for educator prep programs.
GeorgiaCAN will continue to promote and defend the state’s accountability system from legislative attempts to rollback clear and accurate accounts of student and school progress.
GeorgiaCAN will better align K-12 career pathways with the jobs and opportunities of the state’s economic landscape.
Building upon the successful 2025 passage of the Distraction-Free Education Act, GeorgiaCAN will pursue full adoption for all grades.
