State liaisons: Clayton will lose accreditation

Liaisons appointed by the state to the Clayton County Board of Education say the school district will lose its accreditation. Special state liaisons James Bostic and William Bradley Bryant say the school board has become even more dysfunctional. In a letter to Governor Sonny Perdue, the liaisons say their attempts to assist the board have "been unwelcome and disregarded", thus they have resigned from working with the school board. They will still work with the district's new Superintendent John Thompson until a new board is installed. The district has until September 1st to meet nine mandates from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
