Athens News Matters: Panel Discusses Clarke County School Board, Georgia's U.S. Senate Races

Tensions continue to rise between Clarke County School Board members and administrators, with dueling ethics complaints filed against School Superintendent Demond Means and unnamed members of the Board of Education. WUGA’s panel of journalists discuss the problems in the Clarke County School District.

Panel members also discuss Georgia's two upcoming U.S. Senate races in 2020--one for Johnny Isakson's seat, vacated after he stepped down last month, and for David Perdue's seat, which is up for a second term.
