Abstract:
Controversy has surrounded Chatham County’s school board race. An error was made when drawing lines for the Board of Education Districts 13 years ago and was recently corrected. This change will affect the race for seats on the school board. The Board of Education has asked county commissioners to re-draw the districts. This would require the General Assembly to amend state law to change the rules on re-drawing districts and the changes may not happen before the election. Maps included in article.
