Governor's Message
Georgia's Alliance of Education Agency Heads is the state's P-20 Council. Through collaboration and partnerships, the education Agency Heads work together to create a stronger education system for all of Georgia's students, from pre-kindergarten centers, K-12 classrooms, higher education institutions, and the workforce.
