                                                March 13, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1229. GWENDOLYN MCINTYRE v. BAKER COUNTY BOARD OF
    EDUCATION.

      Gwendolyn McIntyre filed this direct appeal seeking review of the superior
court’s order affirming a decision of the State Board of Education. An appeal from
a decision of the superior court reviewing a decision of a lower tribunal, however,
must be taken by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); see
also Hogan v. Taylor County Bd. of Ed., 157 Ga. App. 680 (278 SE2d 106) (1981).
Because McIntyre failed to follow the discretionary appeal procedure as required, this
appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
