Georgia governor suspends Dooly County school board members

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's governor has suspended all five members of the local school board in Dooly County.

Gov. Nathan Deal issued his decision on Monday, following a November recommendation by the State Board of Education that leaders of the central-Georgia district be suspended.

State law allows a governor to intervene if a school district's accreditation is at risk.
