Given the seriousness of the accreditation issue facing Atlanta's public high schools, we are appalled at the open displays of animosity and lack of professional leadership by the Atlanta School Board. Board Chair Khaatim Sherrer El should immediately step down from his leadership post and move for the Board to hold elections for new officers. A 2/3 vote should select the new leadership and both El and former Board Chair LaChandra Butler-Burks should recuse themselves from election. (Chairman El offers to step down)

Finally someone said it. This board is a circus and it makes me sick to see our schools failing like this.

The kids are the ones paying the price here. Get them out and get someone in there who actually cares about the students.
