Perdue measure takes aim at school boards

Governor Sonny Perdue is pushing legislation to allow voters to hold school board members accountable should a school district lose accreditation. Perdue's measure would put a referendum on the ballot to let voters oust board members of a school system as they see fit--Perdue says it's a "fail-safe measure" for accountability of elected officials. The push by Perdue comes as the Clayton County school system is under threat to lose accreditation in September, unless broad changes and fixes are made to the operation of its board.
