GCSA Statement On Alleged Financial Mismanagement At Latin Academy

Published: October 23, 2015  |  Read more

We regret the unfortunate instance of alleged financial mismanagement that has reportedly taken place at Latin Academy in Atlanta. After speaking with several members of the school’s governing board, the Georgia Charter Schools Association is confident that students and academics at the school did not suffer as a result of the mismanagement. We congratulate Latin Academy’s board for swiftly launching a full-scale investigation, which uncovered the alleged fraudulent financial dealings at the hands of its former school leader. This underscores the importance of having properly trained school governance boards at every Georgia charter school. Those boards need to be well trained and fully involved in all aspects of school and financial oversight.

Published: September 23, 2015  |  Read more

The option of charter school admissions preferences for Georgia’s educationally disadvantaged students

Published: July 1, 2015  |  Read more

This includes schools focused on closing the achievement gap for low-income students, like KIPP.
