A Georgia state charter school files a blanket / fidelity bond with the State Charter Schools Commission as part of its charter contract — protecting public funds against loss from dishonest acts by school personnel. The Commission sets the amount; the premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, shown exactly at the application. The application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard charter school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Commission. Here is the whole thing:
Your school’s details, the bond amount your charter requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit information collected and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review, which is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond on the State Charter Schools Commission bond form to satisfy your charter contract. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Georgia’s State Charter Schools Commission authorizes and oversees state charter schools, and conditions a charter contract on the school filing a blanket bond on the Commission’s bond form. It functions as a fidelity bond, standing behind the public funds the school handles.
The bond protects against loss from theft, embezzlement, or other dishonest acts by the school’s officers, employees, and agents. The Commission is the obligee; if school personnel misappropriate funds, the Commission can recover against the bond.
The bond stays in effect for the term of the charter contract (and, on the Commission’s form, typically a period after it ends). Because the amount is set per school, enter the figure your contract or the Commission names — premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount your charter requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Commission.
