The Dougherty County School System is preparing for teacher tribunals although they have not received official information from the state

ALBANY, GA -- At Wednesday's Dougherty County School Board meeting Attorney Tommy Coleman announced they are preparing for the CRCT tribunals.

Coleman says they plan to pick between nine and ten people to sit on the tribunals; he says no one would be from Dougherty County.

Superintendent Dr. Joshua Murfree will make the final selections for who will sit on the tribunal.

Coleman says they have not received any official documents or information from the state regarding the investigation but that they should receive more by Christmas.

Coleman says in the meantime, there is a possibility that some teachers targeted in the tribunals may resign prior to them.
