On June 9, 2016, Gordon County School’s charter was renewed for a ten year term by the State Board of Education. This action will allow Gordon County Schools to expand on the initiatives already in place as they continue to institute changes proven to increase student achievement. Charter Systems have been instrumental in advancing innovative polices to realize new educational opportunities in Gordon County

A key element to a charter is moving decision making closer to where learning takes place. That means leaving decisions to the individual school systems and to the schools within the system. It also means involving more people in the decision making process - involving parents and community leaders in school decisions.

A Local School Governance Team in each school is the method the school system uses to get the community, parents and teachers involved in decision making to maximize educational opportunities for children. Each Local School Governance Team will seek to provide the best possible learning environment for the children in their community.
