What it is and who needs it.
What the charter school bond actually covers
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 no credit check up to $25,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Commission. Submit the executed bond on the State Charter Schools Commission bond form to satisfy your charter contract. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $25,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
