Fund Georgia's Future is a coalition working to create a just public educational system with fair and full funding.
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
A fair funding system requires…
A Commitment to Inclusivity.
A fair funding system must meaningfully engage the public, specifically those students and families closest to the education process, on how public funds should be spent to best meet community needs.
A Commitment to Acknowledging and Dismantling Historical Systems of Marginalization in Education.
A fair funding system must acknowledge and work to break down systems that have historically and continue to discriminate against students and families based on race, national origin, religion, gender, English-language proficiency, geography, and economic resources.
A full funding system requires…
A Commitment to Maintenance.
A full funding system must end persistent budget cuts to public schools and cannot use public funds for private education.
A Commitment to Growth.
A full funding system must find new methods of raising revenue to make sure that the state’s funding commitment is based on what students need, not on current revenue.
