New Regulations Possible for Local School Boards

Georgia lawmakers are looking at overhauling how the state regulates school boards. The move comes in the wake of Clayton County school district losing accreditation last year. The bill would give the governor the power to remove misbehaving school board members, limit how many members a board can have and require training. Local school boards have opposed the legislation, saying it unfairly targets them because it doesn't include city councils and county commissions.
