Rep. Rashad Taylor to Oppose New Charter School Amendment
ATLANTA – State Representative Rashad Taylor (D-Atlanta) announced today his intention to oppose a revision of the charter school amendment that was recently announced. Rep. Taylor plans to introduce an alternative version that could preserve local control while still recognizing the necessity for alternate authorizers of charter schools.

My amendment gives local voters the option of having an alternate authorizer in their local school system.”

He was elected into the House of Representatives in 2008, and currently serves on the Education, Regulated Industries, and Ways & Means Committees. Rep.
