DeKalb County school board member Donna Edler will hold a town hall meeting from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to discuss the effect of the school district’s recent drop in accreditation.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools lowered DeKalb’s accreditation to “probation” last month, saying it had documented evidence of financial mismanagement, school board meddling in hiring and other problems.

The action could lead to removal of the school board. The meeting is at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church, 5140 Memorial Dr., Stone Mountain.
