(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) — A Fulton County Superior Court judge came down on the side of choice on Friday, ruling that charter schools in Georgia can be legally approved and funded by a state commission in addition to local systems.
The abrupt decision by Judge Wendy L. Shoob came after more than three hours of arguments in a constitutional challenge over the local control of public schools. Seven Georgia school systems had sued the state, charging that the Georgia Charter Schools Commission was illegally granting charters and giving local money to charter schools that the districts had rejected.
