agreement. Once a five year budget is completed with the
help of the school system, the charter will be submitted to
the Glynn County Board of Education for approval.
Our March 15 approval followed months of work by our
Charter Authoring Subcommittee and three separate
meetings with the Board of Education (one meeting with a
Board of Education committee, and two workshops for the
full Board of Education with the charter as the only agenda
item). The Steering Committee thanks the Board, the

to prepare Glynn County's charter for review and approval by
the local and state boards of education.
