GA Charter Awaiting Approval

K-8 charter wants to open in 2012

An Atlanta-based charter management organization wants both the Marietta and Cobb school boards to approve a K-8 start-up charter school that would open fall 2012. Gene Eidelman, president of Mosaica Education, Inc., went before the Marietta school board on Tuesday to request approval of a five-year charter school called The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Academy of Cobb. The Marietta school board has 60 days from March 1, when the petition was filed for the academy, to approve or deny the charter.
