Cherokee board member’s case goes before state hearing officer
The ethics case involving Cherokee County school board member Kelly Marlow went before a hearing officer for the Georgia Board of Education Monday.
Marlow is appealing an ethics violation cited by the Cherokee County school board, which sanctioned her in October in connection with a June letter she sent to the district’s accreditation agency seeking an investigation of alleged policy violations.
When the state hearing officer issues a recommendation, it’ll go to the state board for a ruling, possibly in February.
