The AJC is reporting that the state BOE’s Charter School Committee gave unanimous approval to Decatur’s charter school application yesterday. Today, it goes before the Board of Education again for approval. If its approved, that’s it. Decatur becomes a charter system. No more hurdles or red tape.

The AJC seems to think that because of the unanimous approval by the charter school committee, Decatur is a shoe-in. Marietta on the other hand, only passed by a 3-2 vote and therefore might face greater criticism today during the full board meeting.

All will be revealed today! Stay tuned to DM for more exhilarating charter school red-tape coverage!
