Georgia Council on Literacy Appointments

July 28, 2023

The Deal Center is proud to announce that Governor Brian Kemp has appointed Dr. Lindee Morgan, Deal Center Executive Director, Dr. Noris Price, Superintendent of Baldwin County School District, and Dr. Gary Bingham, Deal Center Research Sub-Committee Member, to the Georgia Council on Literacy. The Council will oversee the implementation of the Georgia Early Literacy Act which was signed into law earlier this year. Drs. Morgan, Price, and Bingham are among 30 experts appointed to the group tasked to use their expertise to review, research, and make recommendations for program improvements, with the ultimate goal of improving literacy rates across the state. The committee will also focus on students with learning differences, including dyslexia, in addition to children from low-resource households. We look forward to updating the Deal Center supporters and friends about the exciting progress of this committee and we thank Georgia’s leaders for working to improve language and literacy outcomes across our state. Congratulations, Drs. Morgan, Price, and Bingham; we appreciate your continued dedication to education and improving outcomes for Georgia’s children!
