Clayton schools to lose 27-million dollars
Clayton County schools’ loss of accreditation will cost the district $27-million in state funds over the next two years. Already, more than 3,200 students have left schools in the district south of Atlanta since a certification board revoked accreditation September 1st. Without accreditation, students could have trouble getting into some colleges and universities and earning scholarships. Along with the flight of some students, over 500 employees have left the district. Clayton County officials now are considering layoffs among other cutbacks to help deal with the state funding loss.
