Ivy Preparatory Academy in Norcross has agreed to a one-year contract with Gwinnett County Public Schools that places it under control of the district.
The contract enables the charter school to serve local students for a year while a petition for future years is evaluated. The deal officially runs from July 1 to June 30, 2012.
Ivy Prep, which briefly withdrew its local application in June, has enrolled 392 students from Gwinnett and 190 from DeKalb County. State funds will cover the cost of educating DeKalb students.
