The Georgia Department of Education's District Flexibility and Charter Schools Division's 2018 Annual Report submitted on behalf of the State Board of Education to the Georgia General Assembly
Georgia General Assembly State Capitol Building Atlanta, GA 30334 December 29, 2018 Dear Members of the Georgia General Assembly, Georgia law requires all charter schools to submit an annual report to the Department of Education each year and the State Board of Education to report to the General Assembly each year on the status of the charter program [see O.C.G.A. ? 20-2-2067.1(c) and ? 20-2- 2070]. To facilitate the meeting of these requirements, the Georgia Department of Education's District Flexibility and Charter Schools Division each year conducts an Annual Report process for charter schools. The Department then compiles the Annual Report data along with academic assessment data and prepares and conveys to the General Assembly this report on behalf of the State Board of Education. The 2018 Charter Schools Annual Report is before you now. Thank you for your ongoing dedication and hard work in helping to strengthen Georgia's public education system.
Sincerely,
Kevin Boyd, Chair District Flexibility and Charter Schools Committee State Board of Education

Brief History of Charter Schools in Georgia
Georgia's first charter school law was passed in 1993. It allowed for the creation of conversion charter schools only and Georgia's first three conversion charter schools were approved in 1995. The charter school law was expanded in 1998, allowing for both locally-approved and state chartered special schools. Oglethorpe Charter School was the first locally-approved start-up charter school. It opened in the Savannah-Chatham County School System and is still operating today. In 2001, the first two state chartered special schools opened, Charter Conservatory for Liberal Arts and Technology (CCAT) and Odyssey School, which added Georgia's first virtual school -- the Georgia Cyber Academy ? as a program in 2007. In 2008, the charter law was changed to establish the Georgia Charter Schools Commission, with the first Commission schools opening in 2009. In 2011, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled the Commission law unconstitutional, but in 2012 a constitutional amendment was overwhelmingly approved by Georgia voters to allow for a new State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC). The first members of the SCSC were appointed by the State Board of Education in 2013 and they have been busy working to create high quality state charter schools since then.
