Re-audit Possibility For Athens Schools
Athens attorney for the School Board declined to confirm plans for another audit or any agreement with the Durham and Christopher accounting firm. The board met with the firm’s T. C.

Meanwhile, a citizens group urged superintendent William Mitchell’s resignation, and a board meeting was canceled due to low attendance.
