State Charter School Funding
State charter school students earn Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula funding, like all Georgia public school students, and "State Charter School Supplement" funding. The total amount of QBE dollars a state charter school receives is calculated using the QBE formula. The formula provides for a base per-pupil amount to each student.
No local tax money flows to state charter schools. Instead, the Georgia General Assembly appropriates additional state dollars commonly referred to as the "State Charter Supplement." Similar to QBE, the State Charter Supplement is calculated using the state charter funding formula.
