Complete·5/12/26

Georgia SB619 amends the Hancock County Board of Education's education districts, maintaining current board members and defining new district.

Georgia SB619 revises the Hancock County Board of Education's education districts, ensuring current board members continue in their roles until their terms expire. The bill maintains the existing four numbered education districts but updates their descriptions to align with the 2020 U.S. Census data. It also clarifies that any parts of the Hancock County School District not included in the defined districts will be assigned to the contiguous district with the smallest population. The bill includes a detailed description of the districts in an attached appendix.
