Embattled school board member resigns

A Clayton County school board member facing removal from his post resigned today. The Reverend Rod Johnson says he resigned because the school board did not provide him an attorney and because he did not want to testify against former school board chairman Eddie White, who stepped down in April. Clayton County school board members have been under scrutiny after a report cited board dysfunction as a reason for the school district's failure and potential accreditation loss. Clayton County stands to become the first school system in Georgia to lose accreditation.
