TITLE 20 EDUCATION

Section 2. Elementary and Secondary Education, 20-2-1 through 20-2-2180.

ARTICLE 6 QUALITY BASIC EDUCATION

20-2-300. Implementation and funding authorized.

The State Board of Education shall have authority to provide for implementation of other educational programs not ordinarily coming within the prescribed curricula of the public schools which may or may not require use by local units of administration of additional specially qualified personnel and special equipment necessitating allotment of additional funds. The state board is authorized to establish priorities, standards, and criteria for implementation and operation of such programs as it may find necessary or desirable to implement on a state-wide basis. Local units of administration may, prior to implementation of such programs by the state board, implement such programs locally in accordance with criteria and standards prescribed by the state board. The state board shall, prior to implementation of such programs, establish a uniform basis for allotment of additional funds necessary for operation of such programs, provided the General Assembly has appropriated funds for this purpose.

(Code 1981, §20-2-300, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 1657, § 1; Ga. L. 1987, p. 1169, § 1.)

Editor's notes.

- See the Editor's note at the beginning of this part for information as to the redesignation of the former provisions of this Code section.

Ga. L. 1987, p. 575, § 1, effective July 1, 1987, provided for the repeal of subsection (e) of this Code section as it existed prior to the amendment of this Code section by Ga. L. 1987, p. 1169, § 1 and for the enactment of a new Code Section 20-2-311 [repealed] with provisions similar to those in former subsection (e) of this Code section. That latter Act in effect would have redesignated subsection (e) of this Code section as Code Section 20-2-305. Both Acts were given effect as redesignating former subsection (e) of this Code section as Code Section 20-2-311. Code Section 20-2-311 was repealed in 1988.
