The chairwoman of the embattled Clayton County school board announced last night she is stepping-down from her post. The resignation is effective a week from tomorrow. The announcement from a tearful Ericka Davis came as Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell called for all members of the school board to resign. This follows news that a Clayton County grand jury is looking into whether the school board committed crimes that put the school district’s accreditation at risk. In February, a report from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools said the board is "fatally flawed" and had issues including unethical conduct and bad curriculum.
