| GA | Signed into law 05/1997 | P-12 | The unique needs of Georgia's middle school children (grades 6-8) are the focus of Senate Bill 50. This bill directs the Department of Education to operate a state program designed to provide enhanced academic resources, community service activities, and other enrichment activities to middle school children during nonschool hours. The Department of Education will operate this program in consultation with the Georgia School Age Care Association, and the Department will administer grants made to fund local programs. The goal of the Department's program will be to encourage and coordinate local programs. Specific goals for afterschool programs are listed in the legislation. They are: (1) Improvement in school attendance and academic performance of participating students; (2) Reduction in the number of middle school age children unsupervised during nonschool hours; (3) Increased participation by students in supervised academic, educational, and voluntary community service activities; and (4) Reduction of juvenile crime, substance abuse and teenage pregnancy. (If a local school system manages the program, any sex education materials or classes would have to conform to existing guidelines.) Senate Bill 50 includes a provision requiring an annual review of the effectiveness of the state and local programs provided for in this legislation.
