Charter Schools - A Comparison of Approaches
During its regularly scheduled meeting on May 10, 2012, the Georgia Board of Education approved the Fulton County School System's request to become a charter system.
On Thursday May 3rd, Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law legislation that will provide additional educational opportunities for Georgia students through state
charter schools. The bill, HB 797, sets forth a new funding mechanism for these schools and establishes a State Charter Schools Commission to conduct the review process for charter school petitions and ensure that charter schools are consistent with state educational goals.
