Hours before a meeting which could lead to their removals, the DeKalb County School Board is filing suit challenging the governor's ability to kick them out of office. The lawsuit seeks to stop Thursday's hearing before the state Board of Education, and says the law permitting the governor to remove elected school board officials in a troubled district is unconstitutional. The hearing comes after the DeKalb School System was placed on probation by the SACS accrediting agency last year. A Dunwoody state lawmaker is angry over the board's move. Republican State Rep. Fran Millar calls it "selfish." This morning, a judge in Fulton County denied the board's request for temporary restraining order, so the meeting will go on as scheduled.
