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.
