If the Hall County School District becomes a charter system, Superintendent Will Schofield said the change will cost more in time than in dollars, requiring a large amount of training and professional development. Whether that change will happen remains up in the air, however, as the district awaits clarification from the state Department of Education on what the requirements for charter systems will be. The department is requiring all school districts in the state to decide whether they will be a status quo, charter or Investing in Educational Excellence system.
