Senator RaShaun Kemp, D-Atlanta, has introduced Senate Bill 381, which adds a poverty weight to Georgia’s educational funding formula, a move proponents said would account for students from low-income families. The bill was cosponsored by Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones II, D-Atlanta; Senate Minority Whip Kim Jackson, D-Atlanta; Senate Caucus Chair Elena Parent, D-Decatur; and Senator Jaha Howard, D-Smyrna.
