The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia (SCSC) Board of Commissioners approved $9.3 million in federal Charter School Program (CSP) State Entity (SE) subgrants to five Georgia charter schools during its meeting on December 10, 2025. The subgrants were awarded through a competitive process to support start-up activities for new and replicating charter schools.

CSP SE subgrants are often the most significant funding source for new charter schools in Georgia.

They will enrich their communities and open new doors of opportunity for hundreds of Georgia families across our state."

The subgrants were awarded to the following schools:
