## Editor's Notes

“(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.’”
