Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ September 13, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A2440. SONIA WILLIAMS v. FULTON COUNTY BOARD of EDUCATION.

Sonia Williams filed this direct appeal seeking review of the trial court’s order affirming the decision of the State Board of Education. We lack jurisdiction.

An appeal from a decision of the superior court reviewing a decision of a local administrative agency must be taken by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). Because Williams failed to follow the discretionary appeal procedure as required, this application is ordered DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
