Executive Summary
Senate Bill 10 as signed into law on May 18, 2007, created the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS) Program which allows parents of eligible special needs students to transfer their children to another public school, public school system, state school, or approved participating private school. On July 1, 2013, OCGA 20-2-2114 was amended to authorize the State Board of Education to waive the prior school year requirement on a case-by-case basis for specific medical needs of a student upon the request of a parent or guardian. On July 1, 2015, OCGA 20-2-2114 was further amended so that prior year enrollment in a Georgia public school requirement shall not apply if the student's parent is an active duty military service member stationed in Georgia within the previous year.
This report represents the results for the 2016-2017 school year as required by O.C.G.A. 20-22118, which stipulates that the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) shall provide the General Assembly with a report regarding the scholarship program for the previous fiscal year.
