Editor's notes

Ga. L. 2025, p. 86, § 1/SB 82, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “(a) The General Assembly finds that charter schools, including locally authorized charter schools, provide innovative and effective educational opportunities for students in Georgia. “(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to: “(1) Encourage local school systems to serve as local authorizers of charter schools; “(2) Provide financial incentives to local school systems that authorize and oversee charter schools; and “(3) Ensure accountability for local school systems that consistently deny charter petitions that are subsequently approved by the State Charter Schools Commission.” Ga. L. 2025, p. 86, § 2/SB 82, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘Local Charter School Authorization and Support Act of 2025.’”
