Bill > HB893

This bill replaces the terms "charter system" and "charter systems" with "performance contract system" and "performance contract systems" throughout multiple sections of Georgia's education code. The bill systematically updates these terms in 29 different Code Sections related to education, including sections about student assessments, charter schools, school funding, enrollment, and various administrative policies. While the bill does not substantively change the underlying educational policies or regulations, it represents a terminological update that likely reflects a shift in how the state conceptualizes and describes its school system governance. The changes will be implemented on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and educational institutions ample time to update their documentation and references. The bill appears to be a technical amendment aimed at standardizing language across education-related statutes, with no immediate practical impact on school operations or student experiences.
