Citing instances of breach of contract, a lawsuit filed on behalf of two Savannah-Chatham County charter schools is winding its way through civil court.
Savannah Classical Academy and Coastal Empire Montessori (CEMCO) allege that the Savannah Chatham County Public Schools district acted in bad faith when it demanded that previously allocated funding be returned after the schools enrollment fell below projections.
The lawsuit was filed in Fulton County Superior Court in December 2019.
The district alleges that the charter schools accepted funds based on higher school enrollments in 2017 and 2018, but when full-time enrollment at both schools dipped in 2019, the district asked for the difference in the funding to be returned by the schools.
