A new public charter school financing law takes effect July 1 in Georgia, but it will not make an immediate impact as the General Assembly failed to place any money in the budget for the program this year. The law is designed to help public charter schools receive a dollar-for-dollar match for any contribution they receive toward buying or constructing a new building. Tony Roberts of the Georgia Charter Schools Association said the biggest obstacle facing most charter schools is getting the required permission from local districts to begin offering classes. "The second greatest challenge for a charter school is having a place to have school." The new law "gives hope that they can begin planning toward better facilities," Roberts said.
