Despite New School Board Ethics Law, Problems Continue: A Conversation with State House Education Committee Chairman Brooks Coleman

Rep. Brooks Coleman (R-Duluth), House Education Committee Chairman Georgia General Assembly
(WABE) - In the last few weeks, in addition to the probe of alleged cheating in Atlanta public schools, DeKalb County school board members have faced questions from accreditors about possible nepotism and conflicts of interest; and Governor Perdue has begun the removal of 3 school board members in Warren County. All of this comes after the Legislature passed a new law, designed to prevent this sort of thing.
