As Clayton County schools face losing accreditation, the Chairman of the County Commission is calling on all county school board members to resign. Eldrin Bell made the call at a meeting last night, just moments after school board Chair Ericka Davis announced she would step down. A scathing Southern Association of Colleges and Schools report released in February called the board "fatally flawed" and "dysfunctional." It outlined issues including unethical and disruptive behavior by board members, low morale among staff members and a shoddy curriculum. A Clayton County grand jury is investigating whether the school board committed any crimes that put the district's accreditation at risk.
