Clayton County Still Fighting for Accreditation

2,300 Clayton County seniors are set to graduate in May. Meanwhile, the school district is still fighting to win back its accreditation.

The Clayton County school district was the first to lose its certification with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools last year. This district is one of the largest in the state.

Since then a new school board has been put in place. Policies have been revamped and they are searching for a new superintendent.

The accreditation agency blames the district’s problems on a “fatally flawed” school board. They have been accused of bickering and harassing school employees.

All nine board members either resigned or were ousted last year.
