An embattled Georgia school system that faces losing its accreditation has named a temporary superintendent. Clayton County's school board approved John Thompson last night. Thompson initially asked Clayton for a $275,000 salary and up to 2 million dollars for a consultant team, along with 24-hour security and 24-hour access to a car and driver. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has given the district nine mandates to meet by September 1st or lose accreditation.
