| FUNDING OF EDUCATION IN GEORGIA | PIE CHART OF FY2015 BUDGET | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Funding
for education in Georgia is a priority for the Georgia General Assembly
and the Governor. I am very proud that Republican Governor Nathan Deal
and the Republican majority state House and Senate have funded K-12
education in Georgia in the Amended FY2014 budget at $7,545,784,627.00
of the total $20,234,238,575.00 budget. Furthermore, of the $320m additional funds available in the amended FY2014 budget at mid-year, $183m has been appropriated for QBE. In the FY2015 Budget approved by the General Assembly, the total funding for education in Georgia amounts to $10,651,567,466, or 54% of the total $20,836,744,620 fiscal year budget. That includes almost $8b ($7,951,720,712) for K-12 education, alone. See Chart, below right.
