Charter schools are an increasingly popular schooling option among communities. However, a ruling in the State of Georgia may shut down some charter schools for good. The ruling said that no entity other than local school boards, since charter schools are still public, can create charter schools. This comes in opposition to the statewide commission that had recently formed and had opened many schools in the state.
I don't think that people should start fretting just yet. Even though the schools created by this now defunct commission may be shut down temporarily or possibly permanently, charter schools will not cease to exist. Local school boards still have the power to open charter schools in their communities. So, while some charters will disappear, this ruling does not cut out this public schooling alternative completely.
