Who implements instruction in Georgia's public schools?

• A. Local school systems
• B. Department of Education
• C. Board of Regents
• D. The Governor

Answer: (A)

Instruction in Georgia's public schools is carried out by local school systems. These districts run the actual schools, hire and assign teachers, set daily schedules, and deliver classroom instruction in a way that aligns with statewide standards. The Georgia Department of Education provides statewide standards, curriculum frameworks, and assessments to guide instruction, but it does not run the classrooms itself. The Governor handles overall state government leadership, not day-to-day classroom teaching. The Board of Regents oversees higher education in Georgia, not K-12 instruction. So, the day-to-day implementation of instruction happens at the local level through local school systems.
