Peach County's Board of Education is considering converting to a charter district, according to the Macon Telegraph.
A charter system, as compared to a status quo system or Investing in Educational Excellence contract, allows for school-level governing bodies. That makes it an attractive option to board Chairman Ben McDaniel, who also noted no final decision has been made.
"I like the idea about the school governance ... getting more input from the community," McDaniel said.
Superintendent Daryl Fineran presented the attributes of the charter and IE2 options to the board at Tuesday's study session, the first public address of the issue ahead of the June 30 state deadline. He did not present the status quo model as a choice and has stated in the past that he didn't see that as a viable option.
