Governor Kemp Suspends Dublin City School Board.

Important education news today:

DUBLIN, Ga. — Gov. Brian Kemp has agreed to suspend all seven members of a Georgia school district.

The Georgia Board of Education recommended suspending the Dublin City Schools Board of Education in 10-0 vote last week. On Monday, Kemp signed an executive order to suspend the entire school board.

The state originally tried to hold the hearing in June, but a decision was not made. Last Wednesday, both the state and the Dublin City Schools Board laid out their case again before the vote.

The hearing comes after the school district faced about a $20 million deficit and a financial crisis which prompted the state to step in with emergency payroll assistance and put its accreditation at risk.

For background on this situation and details of the hearing held last week by the State Board of Education, read this guest post from Dr. Randell Trammell.
