Decatur City in Georgia learned last week that its application to become a charter school district has been approved for recommendation by a state review committee. Four other school districts received letters saying their petitions did not receive approval yet and should be revised by April 22. The school systems needed to be more specific as to how local schools gain power over personnel and budget and needed to spell out how requested waivers from state regulations would improve student performance, said Andrew Broy, state associate superintendent for policy and charter schools. The state board of education will consider the petitions May 8.
