Lewis Holloway is superintendent of Bulloch County Schools.
"When the charter school starts taking money away from our students, when our school district does as good a job or better job than what they're doing or providing, we just don't believe that's ethical."
A new state law established a charter school commission with the power to allocate state money directly to charter schools.
The commission's head Ben Scafidi says those charter schools don't get local money, so it's a way to offset that imbalance.
"Those parents have chosen to put their child in a school they think is better, and the tax money follows the family to the new school and they're suing to stop that."
The Gwinnett County School district filed a similar lawsuit this summer.
