Two state-appointed liaisons to the Clayton County Board of Education have told Governor Sonny Perdue that the board is so dysfunctional the county is certain to lose accreditation in September.

One would keep HOPE scholarship funds available to high school graduates. The second establishes an ethics commission in the county to investigate and oversee the board.
