High Schools Aid Hindered by Georgia Constitution
A Georgia constitutional amendment proposal seeks state aid to high schools county by county. Professor Joseph Stewart argues public high schools are essential for a modern education system, noting Georgia’s lack of a unified secondary system and widespread rural denial of high school opportunities due to the 1877 constitution. He cites rural underfunding, limited attendance, and calls for broader state support to expand access and improve future education.
