The Hall County School District is hoping to become a charter system next year, but it’s a decision that hinges on the Georgia Department of Education’s interpretation of just what a charter system is. All school districts in the state have until June 30 to decide whether they will be a traditional system, a charter system or an Investing in Educational Excellence system, commonly referred to as IE2. School district officials including the Hall County Board of Education and Superintendent Will Schofield were previously leaning toward IE2 because the department’s definition of a charter system did not allow for district-level budgetary control, but officials now say that definition could change.
