Fulton DA

Just in from the Georgia Charter Schools Association:

The staff of the Georgia Charter Schools Commission announced that it is recommending four charter school petitions be approved by the Commission at its monthly meeting, Thursday, 10 a.m., at the State Board of Education board room, 20 Floor/East Tower, Floyd Building, 205 Jesse Hill Jr. Drive, Atlanta

The four prospective new charter schools — from an initial pool of 23 — are:

1. Chattahoochee Hills Charter School. Located in South Fulton County, the school will serve students from Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Fayette and Fulton Counties in grades K-8.

2. Cherokee Charter Academy.This will be the first charter school in Cherokee County and will serve students in grades K-8.

3. Georgia Connections Academy. This virtual school will serve students statewide in grades K-12.

4. Heritage Preparatory Academy. Located in Atlanta, the school will serve students in grades 6-8.

Two other petitions for virtual schools – Georgia Cyber Academy High School and Odyssey School have been recommended for further study by the Commission staff.

The commission could approve schools not recommended by the panels or nix ones that were approved, so this list could grow or shrink.
