East Point charter school awaits state decision

Supporters of a new charter school in East Point are hosting a meeting later this month to update the community. 

Leaders with the Main Street Academy are scheduled to answer questions at the Jan. 30 meeting. It is being held at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park.


On the agenda is a discussion about: 
  • Pre-enrollment 
  • Uniforms 
  • Curriculum 
  • Location
TMSA folks discussed the project with state education officials last month, after receiving the okay from Fulton County education officials.  The Georgia Education Board will need to sign off on this before it can move forward. A decision by the state board is expected in February or later. 


Meanwhile, the charter school supporters working on hiring a school principal.


Two fundraisers are scheduled for January: Monday, Jan. 11, at Oz Pizza; Jan 26, Chick-fil-A, Cleveland Avenue.
