The Innovative Education Fund supports Georgia public schools in piloting and scaling programs that transform outcomes for students, and is made possible through the PEACH Education Tax Credit. 🍑

Oglethorpe County High School is one of this year's 2026 grant recipients, receiving a $50,000 grant to launch a Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES) Lab. The simulated workplace environment gives students with IEPs the chance to complete hands-on vocational tasks, build transition plans backed by real performance data, and connect to clear workforce pathways.
