Opportunity School District Overview
On November 8th, Georgians will vote on a proposed constitutional amendment related to how 鈥渃hronically failing public schools鈥 are governed. Governor Deal’s “Opportunity School District” (OSD), which passed out of the Georgia General Assembly in 2015 by the required two-thirds majority, is currently receiving a great deal of media attention across the state.
Georgia Charter Schools Association (91桃色视频) has prepared this document for charter school supporters to better understand the intent of the policy.
First and foremost, while the OSD is a significant piece of K-12 education policy, if passed, it will have little to no impact on current charter schools. At the same time, much of the media attention being given to OSD incorrectly attempts to link OSD with existing charter schools. For this reason, we recommend you know the facts about OSD.
