Summary — Senate Resolution 87 (SR 87) — Notes on source material

Important: the materials provided contain multiple different "SR 87" resolution texts from different jurisdictions and topics (Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan). The bill metadata you gave (Bill Number SR 87; Title: "Confirm governor's appointees for the board of aeronautics") does not match the primary text labeled LC 112 2740 in the supplied document. Below I summarize the primary resolution text that corresponds to LC 112 2740 (a Georgia Senate Resolution honoring Communities in Schools). If you intended a different SR 87 (for example the aeronautics confirmation or another state's SR 87), please tell me which one and I will summarize that specific document.

SR 87 (LC 112 2740) — Recognizing and commending Communities in Schools (CIS)

  • Type: Senate Resolution (recognition)
  • LC number: LC 112 2740
  • Introduced/Filed: September 3, 2025
  • Sponsors (primary): Senators Mike Hodges (3rd), Shawn Still (48th), Chuck Payne (54th), Billy Hickman (4th), Matt Brass (6th), and others
  • Status (per record): Read and adopted; filed with Secretary of State; reported enrolled

Purpose / Intent

To formally recognize and commend Communities in Schools (CIS) for its services to disadvantaged students across Georgia and to extend the Senate's best wishes for its continued success.

Key provisions / actions in the resolution

  • Recites CIS activities and outcomes for 2024–2025, including:
    • Served over 120,000 students across nearly 50 school districts
    • Partnered with 223 Georgia schools
    • Outcome metrics cited: 98% graduation rate for students aided by CIS; 73% improvement in attendance among students with attendance problems; 98% promotion rate for K–8 CIS students; 70% improvement among students with discipline problems (reduced suspensions); 76% academic improvement for participants
  • Officially honors and commends CIS for its service to Georgia youth.
  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make an “appropriate copy” of the resolution available for distribution to Communities in Schools.

Who is affected / impacted

  • Primary beneficiary: Communities in Schools (statewide organization and its site coordinators)
  • Indirectly highlighted: disadvantaged students served by CIS, participating schools and local partner organizations (businesses, social service agencies, healthcare providers, volunteers)
  • No regulatory, budgetary, or statutory changes — this is an honorary/recognition resolution (no direct legal or fiscal impact).

Procedural / timeline notes

  • The resolution is declaratory/ceremonial in nature. Records show it was read and adopted (same day in some records) and later reported enrolled and filed.
  • Because it is a resolution honoring an organization, no agency implementation or follow-up statutory action is required beyond distributing copies as directed.

If you want a summary of the SR 87 that confirms the governor's appointees to the board of aeronautics (or any of the other SR 87 texts present in the document), please upload or indicate which text/version and I will prepare a focused summary.
