Georgia Public Policy Foundation Launches Investigative Journalism Initiative
'Where Have All the Children Gone?' Georgia public schools report 36,000 fewer enrolled.
Virtual schools have gone above and beyond in stepping up and accepting students. They have opened themselves to take in as many students as possible”
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA, January 29, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- About 36,000 fewer students attended Georgia public schools this year. It's unclear where they are instead.— Michael O'Sullivan
