Mr. Klein,
I am interested in your source for the numbers stated in “The district has almost as much staff – 2,169 – as it does teachers – 2,343.”

The only administrative cost I can find are those listed by the superintendent.

Thanks,

I sure hope Georgia Virtual School has improved since the time my child took a course with them. My child’s teacher wasn’t even certified to teach the course he took. How does the Professional Standards Commission let them get away with that?

i was traveling on I95 through Ga a few days b4 xmas2011 when i was stopped 4 a minor traffic violation.The officer stated that he smelled marijuanna and wanted 2 search my vehicle.Knowing this was a ridiculous accusation(Im a 40yr old mother and DO NOT smoke pot)I agreed 2the search.Upon this search he found a container with my prescription meds n it.I no longer take these meds on a daily basis but i kept them just n case i ever needed them again and couldnt afford a doc visit& prescription costs.Probably not a good idea but certainly not illegal and certainly something most ppl r guilty of also.I had taken the meds with me while traveling because i have a 19yr old son & 17yr old daughter and a house full of teenagers all the time.They had both stayed home with my husband while i traveled. My kids & their friends r good kids but they R teenagers and teenagers r nosey & tend 2 get n2 things & who knows what they may decide 2 try given half a chance!I should not have had the meds out of the proper container while traveling but i just really never thought about it being illegal.So I ended up being arrested and spent3 days n jail b4 my husband could scrape up $ 2 bail me out.And of couse my vehicle was seized.Now Im paying very costly lawyer fees trying 2 get my car returned to me.I have lost my job due to lack of transportation, my bills r stacking up,and it seems theres no hope n site,as its been almopst 3 mnths now! I have provided proof that the meds were prescribed 2 me&also showed that I purchased the 16yr old Ford with $ I recieved from my mothers life ins when she passed away.I really doubt that my car will ever b returned 2 me though.I dont understand how this is legal. Once proof was provided seems like i would have been able 2 Immediately pick up my car.But I have heard NOTHING!!! Please rewrite these laws b4 anymore average ppl get hurt like this.

Charter schools ARE public schools. They have open enrollment for all students in the attendance areas. There is no preference to certain groups or particular children. This is my childrens’ first year at our charter school. Our school is single gender. The boys and girls have classes in the same building, but in different areas. I have a sixth grade girl. She has blossomed being in an all-girls class. The girls are less distracted, form closer friendships and learn to fill leadership roles effectively. My son (K) enjoys being with the boys. The teachers use different methods of teaching for their class. They use singing, clapping and exercise to keep them focused. These are just a very few of the things I have found that charter schools can offer uniquely by choice.
