91ɫƵ Expresses Concern About New DeKalb Charter Policy /charters-in-the-news/dekalb-open-letter/ /charters-in-the-news/dekalb-open-letter/#respond Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:56:05 +0000 http://www.gacharters.org/?p=14065 The Georgia Charter Schools Association is writing this open letter to express our deep concern regarding the new charter policy adopted by the DeKalb County School Board on September 14, 2015. We believe the district’s new policy is at odds with the State Board of Education and could be in violation of state law. We’re also fearful this signals decreasing support for start-up charter schools at a time when the district wants to become a charter system.
