Supt Christman Plans Court Challenge to Suspension
Athens County School Superintendent George Christman says he will pursue court action over a two week suspension imposed by the Athens County Board of Education.

Christman calls the suspension unfounded and due process lacking, and has hired private counsel to seek judicial review.
