Brian Kemp</strong> agreed to <strong>suspend all seven members</strong> of the <strong>Dublin City Schools Board of Education</strong>. The <strong>Georgia Board of Education</strong> had recommended the suspensions in a <strong>10-0 vote</strong> last week. <strong>On Monday</strong>, Kemp <strong>signed an executive order</strong> to suspend the full board.</p> <h2 id="why-the-state-moved">Why the state moved</h2> <p>WSB’s package ties the action to a district financial crisis of about a <strong>$20 million deficit</strong>. That shortfall, the report says, prompted the state to step in with <strong>emergency payroll assistance</strong> and put the district’s <strong>accreditation at risk</strong>.</p>
