Clayton schools bailout
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I know we blogged about Clayton County schools yesterday, but this situation is too important to cover in one posting. Today let’s focus on this question: Who will clean up Clayton County schools?
Could a newly elected school board do it? The SACS report found many problems with current board members, saying members abused their power and acted unethically.
Should the state take the district over? The state is required to provide an adequate education for all children, but Georgia has a long history of promoting local control.
What role must parents, teachers, business leaders and other Clayton voters play to save this school district?
