If you mean an Indictment by a Grand Jury, the answer is yes. If you mean anything having to do with their deliberations, the answer is no - all of that is secret. In federal criminal cases, and in some state cases, a transcript of the grand jury proceedings which led to an indictment may be obtained through discovery by the defendant in his particular criminal case.
The sessions and the subject matter of Grand Jury deliberations are NOT public knowledge unless/until the indictments or findings are handed down.
Grand juries and Petit juries are the two kinds of juries.
Grand Juries
Grand juries and Petit juries are the two kinds of juries. Grand juries review evidence of criminal action to determine if there is probable cause for bringing charges and if so, issue an indictment.

Yes, the state of Georgia uses grand juries. However, it's optional to prosecutors.
Grand juries do not decide guilt or innocence. They determine if enough evidence exists to formally charge you with a crime. There are two types of formal charges: presentments and indictments. For all practical purposes nowadays only indictments are produced by grand juries.
ALL grand jury sessions are conducted ex parte. Legally, the potential defendant is not granted an opportunity to defend themselves and/or present their side of the case. That's what trials and petit juries (i.e.: trial juries) are for.
When referring to a particular grand jury (i.e.: The Essex County Grand Jury), yes. When simply just referring to grand juries in general no, it is not necessary.
