"Legislators Approve School Board Reform Bill"

Senate Bill 84

School board reform in Georgia is now only a signature away from becoming a reality.
Posted: 2:00 AM Apr 23, 2010

On Wednesday evening, the State Senate approved –– by a 39-5 vote –– a reconciled version of Senate Bill 84, which is the bill Gov. Sonny Perdue introduced last year to give state officials more authority to step in when a local school system loses its accreditation

New Bill Aimed Towards The Mistakes Made By Clayton County's Previous BOE Members

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.

…Does anyone remember Sandra Scott ?

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


…Don’t blame Sandra for seeking office again, place all the blame on the brain dead voters that voted for her.

Is Roberta Abdul-Salaam The Pied Piper in Clayton County ?

On Thursday, on the final day of the 2010 legislative session, the House adopted House Bill 1393, a bill that will allow the county to break through its 7-percent sales tax cap in order to fund public transit. The bill, which was amended in the Senate, also adopts a two-year extension of the state’s current motor fuel tax exemption for public transit.

House Bill 1446, a companion bill, that would allow the county to put forth a non-binding referendum asking citizens if they wish to become paying members of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), was adopted by the Senate on Tuesday.

Both bills will now go to the governor’s office for approval. State Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam (D-Riverdale), who authored both bills, said they provide hope for the former riders of Clayton County’s C-TRAN bus service, which was dismantled by the county on March 31 due to budget concerns.

“I think that it gives us the opportunity to correct a serious need that we have,” Abdul-Salaam said. “It gives us the opportunity again to provide quality, affordable, public transportation. It is a quality-of-life issue that doesn’t just affect Clayton County. I’m happy that we were able to get the bipartisan support. It’s in the hands of the county now to take the step and do the right thing.”

State Lawmaker Won't Discuss Back Taxes

Last Updated On: 3/16/2010 6:48:55 PM
ATLANTA - "I'm not addressing the issue of taxes today," is how State Representative Roberta Abdul-Salaam responded to the question about her income taxes from 11Alive's Paul Crawley on Tuesday.

As we reported last week, Rep. Abdul-Salaam owed thousands of dollars in unpaid back taxes, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue's web site.

That agency went to court and garnished her for $646.42 in Clayton County on November 5, 2007; $14,684.68 in Fulton County on May 27, 2009 and another $651.82 in Clayton County on February 4, 2010.

A current check of the agency's delinquent taxpayer list no longer has her name on it.

But when 11Alive News caught up with her at the State Capitol Tuesday, she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

She also said she didn't think it had hurt her credibility as a state legislator.

"My constituents know me. My constituents don't have any questions," she insisted.

When asked what she tells them about her tax troubles she said, "They haven't asked."

Roberta Abdul-Salaam, a native Georgian, is currently an active member on the Economic Development & Tourism, Judiciary Non-Civil and Transportation Committees. She also serves as Associate Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Foundation and Chair of the political action committee for the Clayton County NAACP.



She works as a paralegal with the firm Golden & Associates, and was recently sworn in by Juvenile Judge Steven Teske as a member of the F.A.S.T. Panel of the Clayton County Juvenile Court, which addresses the problem of juvenile delinquency through a program of "prevention rather than detention," providing community-building alternatives to troubled youth. Abdul-Salaam has long worked to educate and empower Georgia's voters.



She is the Founder and President of Grassroots Connection, Inc, and has conducted voter empowerment training for numerous organizations, including the National Conference of Black Mayors and the National SCLC Convention. In July 2003, she was appointed to the Clayton County Board of Elections, the first in the county's history, and served as the first Chair of the Board. Abdul-Salaam was the Region One Director of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda's Voter Empowerment Crusade, which registered over 40,000 voters in 2002, including 2000 high school seniors in metro Atlanta public schools. In recognition of her service, Abdul-Salaam has received many honors, including a Service Award from Mrs. Coretta Scott King, and a citation from former Secretary of State, George Schultz. Abdul-Salaam is the mother of four adult children and the proud grandparent of four. A resident of Clayton County, she is an active member of New Macedonia Baptist Church in Riverdale, where she serves on the Missionary Society and works with the Youth Ministry. District 74 includes a portion of Riverdale in North Clayton County and North Fayetteville in Fayette County.

A Georgia state legislator is comparing a committee's decision not to hang a portrait of Coretta Scott King next to the one of her husband — Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. — in the state capitol — to the Don Imus comments about black female basketball players.

Roberta Abdul-Salaam said: "It's just like calling Mrs. King a nappy-headed (N-word)... It's worse than what Don Imus did."

The chairman of the committee says that capitol portraits are generally limited to figures from state government with a few historic exceptions — saying the capitol is not a museum.
