The Charter School Amendment is an important education reform for Georgia. Statewide, the overall high school graduation rate hovers in the mid 60 percent range, and in many school districts serving mostly low income students the graduation rate is closer to the low 50 percent level. This is morally and economically unacceptable for both our students and this great state.
Like most voters, I believe that local school systems should have primary responsibility of education in our communities. However, this local control should never be confused with exclusive control. There must always be checks and balances for any government activityand this is especially true in the area of education.
