The below request for comment was sent to the Georgia Student Finance Commission at 7:13 PM on Dec. 27, 2023. I did not receive a reply.

I am in hopes that your office can offer a comment or direction.
I am writing an educational opinion column focused on Georgia’s Dual Enrollment program as related to illegal immigration for James Magazine Online with a deadline of 1:00 PM Thursday, Dec. 28.
After studying state law and in addition to an open records request for which I received a response from GSFC, I have done extensive research on the DE program and application process and cannot find any reference to any exclusion of illegal immigrant students from the taxpayer-funded benefit of attending public college classes at no cost to the student’s family. I see no reference to any verification device or process for checking legal immigration status of either the student or the parent/guardian who is required to sign the Parent Participation Agreement.
I want to insure accuracy and balance my write-up and am in hopes that you can offer some detail I may have overlooked or any comment you want included.
I am a student of the 1986 Plyler v Doe Supreme Court decision and am very familiar with the mandates therein.
For inclusion in the report please reply by my deadline?
Thank you,
D.A. King
