Clayton Schools Superintendent: We Have Right Ingredients For Success
In 2008, some residents of Clayton County were shocked when the local public school district lost its accreditation. That prompted Georgia’s then-Gov. Sonny Perdue to remove four school board members for alleged ethics violations. Thousands of families left the district.
Since then, the Clayton County school system has made progress. It’s regained full accreditation. Its graduation rate and test scores are improving. The district has a new school board, and a new superintendent, Morcease Beasley.
WABE’s Martha Dalton sat down with Beasley to talk about his plans for the school system.
