Representative John Graham Altman's bill calls for the removal of the current seven-member board. The measure would allow the governor to appoint replacements. But the Republican's bill says the Legislature would have to approve them. Altman's bill was filed after E-TV decided to air statewide a 58-minute documentary "Corridor of Shame," which shows crumbling walls, leaky roofs, faulty fire alarms and unheated classrooms. Those conditions were part of testimony in a school funding trial last year targeting the Legislature for inadequate public school spending. » Find More Articles Related To This One Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
