Please help! GCSA is asking all Georgia charter schools to fill out the following facilities funding survey to assist with our response to a recent veto issued by Gov. Kemp. The “disregard” language for additional facilities funding for Georgia charter schools occurred despite GCSA securing FULL FUNDING for the Charter School Facility Grant in the budget approved by state lawmakers. The additional facilities funding had strong bipartisan support and would have provided a grant award of $100,000 annually for every eligible charter school. As it stands, all Georgia charter schools will continue to receive charter facility funding in the same amount they received in FY23 ($75,000 per school).
In the coming weeks, we will ask you to call and send letters to Gov. Kemp and the Office of Planning and Budget to express your disappointment. Click HERE to see a list of schools that have already completed the facilities survey.
