This is disturbing...

Clayton schools get grim verdict. Clayton County schools are to lose their accreditation Sept. 1st.
Fla., lost accreditation in 1969. The national commission voted to revoke the accreditation of the schools in Hartford, Conn., but the state stepped in and took over at the last minute, Elgart said.

Clayton officials said they weren't surprised by the national vote, but were confident they could overhaul the district in time.

"We're a realistic board and know the situation we're in and know we have to move forward," school board Chairwoman Ericka Davis said.

The board has already taken steps toward improvement, including removing board member Norreese Haynes for not living in the county, Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell said.

Wait... you kick someone off the board for not living in the county! And thats a step in the right direction? THats a technicality! Thats not kicking someone off for not doing their job...

WHat do these kids do?

THe likelihood that this state is going to step in before its too late seems very small. Look at the Grady issue...
