The State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) is a state commission that works as an independent authorizer for Georgia Charter Schools. The SCSC regularly reviews petitions for new start-up charter schools, in addition to
reviewing the academic and overall performance of existing SCSC charter schools to ensure academic and fiscal
accountability and legal compliance with the terms of the charter contract. The SCSC also works with charter
school petitioners and operators to locate and develop resources and partnership opportunities with community
stakeholders to help expand school choice. SCC is looking for an intern to aid in the tracking of legislative proposals, research and analysis, drafting of internal memorandums, and completing the review of school charters. This opportunity is based in Atlanta and will run from May 3 until August 2, 2021 (though start and end dates will be flexible). Interns can work no more than 29 hours a week for an hourly rate of $14.00.
The deadline to apply is March 15, 2021.
