Annual Governance Training
Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 20‐2‐2084(f), requires that every member of a governing board of a state charter school participate in annual governing board training.
Governance Training Policy for State Charter Schools

This policy establishes differentiated training requirements for new and tenured governing board members at state charter schools.
