Amended Charter School Bill Passes Georgia Senate

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/2008/04/02/charter_0403.html

A bill designed to make it easier to create charter schools by creating an independent state charter school commission passed the Georgia Senate on April 2. Before approving the measure, Senators added an amendment which restricts the new commission from creating a charter school in a district already established as a charter school system. In calling for passage of the amended bill, Sen. Dan Weber said, "This legislation is important to allow families to have true local control."
