Some ethical problems
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An audit shows Clayton school board members used intimidation and other unethical behavior to try and get jobs for friends and family members. This behavior is one of the reasons why the school district may lose its accreditation.
While the audit focused on Clayton, it makes me wonder whether this micromanaging and abuse of power can be found in other districts.
Have you seen similar problems in your school districts? Principals and teachers, have you ever been pressured or intimidated by a board member?
On a lighter note, here’s hoping the students and teachers returning to school today have a good first day back. Other metro school systems will start Thursday and Aug. 11.
