FORT VALLEY — Last year, a petition to open a charter high school in Byron was rejected by both the county and state boards of education.
The Byron Peach Charter High School Association submitted a new petition May 29, and the Peach County school board will vote on the measure at its next work session July 29.
Should the local board deny the petition, the state Board of Education could still override its decision and approve the charter high school.
“I really feel strongly about our petition,” B.J. Walker, an association board member, told the Peach school board Tuesday. “I’d much rather us be united, and y’all being the local educational agency, that we work together.”
