The $1 million that Georgia schools Superintendent Kathy Cox won for charity on a game show last fall could end up in the hands of her creditors because of her personal bankruptcy filing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that it is unclear if three public schools for deaf and blind students will get the money Cox won in August on Fox's "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" The attorney for the bankruptcy trustee tells the newspaper his client is exploring making a claim on the prize money. Cox and her husband, John, filed for bankruptcy Nov. 17, claiming $3.5 million in debt because of his Fayette County homebuilding business.
