in response to Parent:

It sounds as if Throckmorton is saying that the state education board can overule the local school district's decision to deny a charter school petition, but Shamblin seems to think the local school board will control the decision. I wonder how often a local district has been overuled?

According to a PowerPoint presentation available on the Tennessee Charter Schools Association website, the state board of education has overruled the LEA at least twice, once in Chattanooga and once in Nashville.
