NotesGeorgia established RESAs in 1985 as part of the Quality Basic Education Act to share resources across county lines through the provision of the following services: research, planning, staff development, development and implementation of curricula, assessment, and evaluation, enhancing use of technology in schools and school systems, and “assisting in the development and implementation of a statewide mentoring program” (OCGA § 20-2-270.1)
