Early voting opened Monday and although the presidential race is heating up, it’s not the only thing on the ballot attracting more and more attention. Georgia voters, between now and Nov. 6, will decide if the state’s constitution will be amended to allow the creation of a new state board to select private organizations to run taxpayer-funded charter schools. Currently, that power is reserved for local boards of education, with the state board able to approve charters that the local boards opt out of.
