CharterPolicy

The Georgia Charter Schools Association, in partnership with The National Charter Schools Institute and Education Advisors, has developed policyand form templates for critical policies and forms needed in every charter school policy manual.

The policy templates have been carefully crafted following best practices and have been reviewed and vetted by legal experts (schools should have their own legal experts review policies prior to adoption).  The policies provide a solid foundation for your board to utilize for adopting your own policies.
