On August 28, 2008, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools removed its accreditation of the Clayton County Public Schools, citing the district's failure to meet nine mandates it had set that had to be satisfied before September. The SACS cited continuing issues with micromanaging, abuse of power and conflict of interest, among other ethics violations. The loss of accreditation was the first by an American school district since 1969. Students at North Clayton High School and at the other district schools may face difficulties in getting accepted to college and possible loss of eligibility in scholarship programs.〔Matteucci, Megan.
