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

The SCSC Board of Commissioners adopted a new governance training policy to promote high-quality charter schools and ensure compliance with Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 20‐2‐2084(f)). This policy establishes differentiated training requirements for new and tenured governing board members at state charter schools.
