State Democratic Caucus Opposes the Charter Schools Amendment

Senator Steve Henson, leader of the caucus, talks about why it's a bad idea for Georgia.

In today's AJC, Steve Henson lays out his reasons, and the caucus's reasons, for opposing the amendment. He says:

The Charter School Constitutional Amendment on the November ballot would reshape the way we fund secondary education.
