The state Board of Education will reconvene a hearing Wednesday based on a new law that allows the state board to recommend removal en masse of the Atlanta School Board for jeopardizing the city school system's accreditation with political infighting and turmoil. The hearing, set for 4:30 p.m., could be moot now that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) has taken the Atlanta board off accreditation probation. Senate Bill 79 gave the state board the power to recommend to the governor the removal of any school board in a system that was not fully accredited on July 1. The state board convened July 26, but suspended its hearing until the SACS report last week.
