Legislative Candidates Support Charter Schools, Education Reform Commission Recommendations
Georgia Charter Schools Association (GCSA) recently sent a survey to all Georgia House and Senate candidates ahead of the upcoming election in November and before the start of the 2017 legislative session. Democratic and Republican candidates who have responded prior to the May primary have expressed overwhelming support for charter schools as a public school option. They have also shown strong support for funding charter schools at the same level as traditional schools, which is one of the recommendations made by Gov. Nathan Deal’s Education Reform Commission.
