School Finance Oversight
During the 2026 legislative session, the Georgia General Assembly passed two companion bills – House Bill 1164 (HB 1164) and Senate Bill 472 (SB 472) – that substantially expand DOAA’s authority over the financial oversight of local school systems and state charter schools. Together, these laws create new tools to detect fiscal problems earlier, intervene when needed, and hold school officials accountable.
