Board Chair Kelly Swinks led a discussion of topics central to the State Charter School Commission (SCSC) proposed charter with TMS: mission-specific goals, attendance zone, and consideration of enrollment limit change. Dr. Swinks reviewed each proposed operational goal as well as guidance from the SCSC regarding attendance zone. The TMS tiered attendance zone from the charter with DeKalb Schools will be utilized in SCSC charter. Enrollment limited will be modestly increased to 600 from 588.
Dr. Swinks also reviewed the necessity of submitting an application for the Georgia Department of Education Educational Facility Site.
Motion to approve the State Charter School Commission charter with changes as detailed during the meeting: corrections to address misspellings of The Museum School of Avondale Estates, adoption of the mission-specific goals, adoption of existing tiered attendance zones, and an enrollment increase from 588 students to 600.
