GA rep. ‘concerned’ about parental control over education: ‘A lot of those parents did not finish high school’

Rep. Lydia Glaize, D-Ga., questioned parental control over education, suggesting that many parents are not qualified to have input in their child’s education since they did not graduate high school.

The Georgia House Education Subcommittee on Policy on Monday passed the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act by a 7 to 5 vote. It already passed the Senate 33 to 23 strictly along party lines on March 13.

The Georgia Promise Scholarship Act would establish a state-funded $6,000 promise scholarship to be used towards qualified education expenses for each participating Georgia student. 

Students attending public schools in the lower quartile of academic performance statewide are eligible for the scholarship.
