School districts in Georgia are local government entities responsible for managing public education within specific geographic areas. Each district operates its own schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, and is governed by a school board elected by the community. Funding for these districts primarily comes from state and local taxes. There are over 180 school districts in Georgia, serving millions of students. The Georgia Department of Education oversees these districts, ensuring they meet state educational standards and regulations. Each district develops its own curriculum and policies, tailored to the needs of its students and community.
