ATLANTA, GA – At its November 20th board meeting, the State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) Board of Commissioners (Board) reelected Commissioner Mike Dudgeon as Chairman for a second term and elected Commissioner Cayanna Good, Ph.D., as Vice Chairwoman for 2025. Both leaders bring extensive experience, vision, and a shared commitment to advancing high-quality charter schools across Georgia.

Her background in educational administration and school improvement includes serving as Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement, as well as holding other leadership positions at the agency and at the Georgia Department of Education, where she focused on enhancing academic strategy and improving student outcomes.

The SCSC extends heartfelt thanks to outgoing Vice Chairwoman Lina Millan, MD, for her exemplary service. Commissioner Millan will remain on the board, continuing to provide invaluable expertise.

With this slate of officers, the SCSC Board is poised to strengthen its support for charter school success and uphold high standards for education in Georgia.
