Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 691-2-.08 - State Charter School Expansion
(1)
Enrollment Limits. Each charter between the SCSC and a state
charter school shall specifically state the total maximum number of students
that the state charter school can enroll at any point during its charter term.
Charter enrollment limits may only be modified after SCSC approval through
amendment of the charter. For any charter contract that does not include an
enrollment limit as of the effective date of this rule, the enrollment limit
shall be set at 1.05 times that state charter school's preceding October
total Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) enrollment count, as reported by the Georgia
Department of Education (GaDOE).
(2)
Amendment of Enrollment
Limits. State charter schools may not undergo expansion without prior
approval by the SCSC. A state charter school seeking to amend the enrollment
limit in its charter shall submit a written charter amendment request from its
governing board chairperson or his or her authorized designee to the SCSC
Executive Director. The SCSC Executive Director shall determine whether the
requested expansion constitutes a significant increase to the school's
enrollment limit. Requests for charter school expansion shall, at a minimum,
include the following:
(a) The number of
grades or classes to be added, if applicable;
(b) The new proposed grade range and the
proposed performance measures for additional grades, if applicable;
(c) The rationale and/or justification for
the requested modification;
(d) The
new proposed enrollment limit;
(e)
The rationale for increasing the state charter school's enrollment
limit;
(f) A proposed budget for
the increase or decrease in total students served; and,
(g) Contact information for the designated
point of contact.
