Former Dunwoody State Senator Starts Charter School Foundation

Former Dunwoody state sen. Dan Weber has started a foundation to lobby for charter school systems, an organization that meets for the first time this week and may approve a $10,000 a month salary for the former lawmaker.

The AJC also reports that Weber, a Dunwoody Republican, has been asking public charter systems to contribute $2 per student to fund the Georgia Charter System Foundation.

Weber serves as the foundation's executive director, which is governed by a board of three school superintendents whose districts are charter systems.
