ABOUT SCHOOL CHOICE

GCO has been involved in the school choice movement for more than a decade. In recent years ,  GCO helped to create and secure the passage of Georgia’s Special Needs Scholarships and Tuition Tax Credit programs. In 2012, GCO was instrumental in getting the Georgia Charter School amendment passed.

Every child is different – which is why families should have a variety of options when deciding how to educate their children. The goal of school choice is to ensure families have quality educational options – including traditional public school, public charter school, private school (including tax credit and special needs scholarship participants), online education, homeschool, and hybrid school – that will help their children learn and grow.
