Gilmer County Schools, in partnership with Georgia Department of Education, is committed to our goal of increasing literacy outcomes for ALL of Georgia’s students. Georgia is currently experiencing a unique synergy around literacy with several developments that have impacted literacy policy and practice statewide. The Georgia Early Literacy Act (House Bill 538), Georgia’s new K-12 English Language Arts Standards (implementation SY 2025-26), and Georgia’s dyslexia efforts (Senate Bill 48) are all important initiatives that will help guide Georgia’s literacy journey over the next few years.
