Clayton County lost it's accreditation!?

Question

Clayton County in the state Georgia

Ok we all have gotten the news today that Clayton County public schools has lost its accreditation! I really want to know what this means. Nobody want tell me anything about what this means and what will happen. When they do it does not make any sense to me ! So can any body inform me about what is going on?

Answer 1

"The loss of accreditation would mean that students in the 53,000- student district, south of Atlanta, could have trouble being accepted to college, that high school graduates wouldn’t be eligible for the state’s HOPE college scholarships, and that the district would not be allowed to offer the state-financed pre-K program."
