School-Based Governing Councils
To ensure local community involvement/control, each charter school will have a Governing Council comprised of community leaders and parents that will have primary oversight of the school. The Georgia Charter Educational Foundation will delegate broad authority to the Governing Council, including:
- Setting school-specific performance goals
- Approval of the school budget and finances
- Operational oversight of Charter Schools USA
- Monthly meetings to review school performance
