Charter School Authorizing Standards

On December 9, 2021, the State Board of Education adopted the Georgia Principles and Standards for Charter School Authorizing, a set of principles designed to evaluate Georgia charter authorizing bodies on quality practices. The standards were developed jointly by the State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) and the Georgia Dept. of Education (GaDOE) and are informed by both the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) Principles & Standards for Quality Charter School Authorizing and Georgia laws. Prior to adoption, stakeholders were invited to submit feedback and, where appropriate and applicable, updates were included.
