The Bulloch County school board is poised to make an official pronouncement against the proposed state charter schools measure.At its work session Thursday evening, the board voted unanimously to grant preliminary approval to a resolution “in support of quality public education” and against a constitutional amendment allowing for state approval of charter schools. Board members David Ball and Vernon Littles were absent.It will come up for final approval at the board’s next meeting, scheduled for Oct. 11. The general election ballot includes a measure that, if approved, would amend Georgia’s constitution to allow for the creation of a state-level charter schools commission.
