A Georgia school district's entire board has been suspended by Gov. Brian Kemp through an executive order.

This decision comes after the school district faced a significant financial crisis, including a $20 million deficit.
The state had provided emergency payroll assistance to the district. In response to the financial issues, the district cut costs by reducing staff and shortening the school year.
