CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell told Channel 2’s Tom Jones the Clayton County schools have indeed lost accreditation.
The 50,000-student school system is the first in the nation to lose accreditation since 1969, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools announced.
No accreditation means students will have a tougher time getting into some colleges and universities. They may also have difficulty obtaining scholarships.
Who’s looking out for the children? Not the Clayton County School Board.

Now that all board members have been removed, how long before they can be reconsidered for accredidation?

Now that they have lost their accreditation, can we take their SAT scores out of our average?
We may move up from 47.

I am thankful Buzz didn’t spell “lose” as “loose” as it is often spelled in this state.
