New Bill Aimed Towards Clayton County's BOE

The House voted 137-33 approved a bill that would allow Georgia's governor to oust misbehaving school board members. It was prompted by troubles in the Clayton County school system, which was stripped of accreditation in 2008. Under the bill, the governor could remove school board members if the state board of education recommends removal. Schools must be poised to lose accreditation.

Bit of a mixed bag this time.

[Oscar Knight]

Only two "Yes" votes, out of the entire Clayton County Legislative Delegation ;D

I can't wait until we get down to brass tacks with SB 308 ;D ;D

That will be when the "tale" begins to wag. ;D

UPDATE

.....Mike Glanton voted Yes , then look at what happened:

2010...When Mike Glanton was running for State Senate, in District 44, His State House District 76 seat was replaced by Sandra G. Scott.

...Does anyone remember Sandra Scott ?

...Sandra Scott was one of four Clayton County school board members removed by Gov. Sonny Perdue in 2008.
