Let's Talk About Charter Legislation
Currently, Georgia lawmakers are considering two bills, HB 202 and SB 82, aimed at incentivizing local approval for charter schools. These bills will:
- Provide best practices for authorizing public charter schools to support local districts.
- Encourage local district approvals.
- Increase transparency in the charter school approval process.
- Establish accountability when high-quality local charter school applications are denied.
Join us on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 7 PM for a virtual discussion with Rahn Mayo from the Georgia Charter Schools Association. He will break down the legislation and explain how it could bring new educational options to your community.
