Ga. L. 1991, Ex. Sess., p. 86, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that, as a result of the fiscal year 1992 budgetary crisis necessitating reductions in appropriations to all departments, and for fiscal year 1992 only, the state recognizes that local school systems may need greater flexibility in terms of expenditures for direct instructional costs by program, media center costs, and staff development costs, such that “for and only for fiscal year 1992, relaxation of the 90 percent expenditure controls required by the ‘Quality Basic Education Act,’ specifically subsection (a) of Code Section 20-2-167, will not, under this limited time framework and under these extraordinary circumstances, adversely impact upon the state’s objectives and goals specified by the ‘Quality Basic Education Act.’”
Ga. L. 2000, p. 618, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘A Plus Education Reform Act of 2000.’”
