Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 20-14-27 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to required reports and publication format relative to education accountability assessment programs, so as to provide that public schools with a state-wide attendance zone and certain charter schools shall not be included in the separate list of public schools annually reported by the Office of Student Achievement for purposes of the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act"; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Georgia Promise Scholarship Act," proposes to amend existing law concerning education accountability reports. Specifically, it mandates that the Office of Student Achievement, when compiling its annual report on elementary and secondary education, will no longer include public schools that have a state-wide attendance zone or certain charter schools on a separate list required by another law (Code Section 20-2B-29). This exclusion applies to charter schools established under specific articles of Georgia law, with an exception for "system charter schools," which are defined elsewhere in the code. The purpose of this change is to alter the reporting requirements for these particular types of schools in relation to the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act, and the bill will take effect upon its approval.
