JONESBORO, Ga. -- A SACS review team is recommending full accreditation for the Clayton County school district. 

It could put to rest six years of accreditation turmoil for the once troubled school system.

The county learned of their status on Wednesday after a three-day investigation conducted by SACS. 

The recommendation was met with a standing ovation from more than a hundred people in the school system's board room Wednesday -- and a sense of relief among school officials.

"I'm elated," said school board member Jessie Goree. "That's why I ran for the board, because my child was here when we lost our accreditation. It's been very stressful."

LAS VEGAS -- An advocacy group is calling the Colorado River the nation's most endangered waterway. Georgia's Flint River ranks second.

An annual American Rivers report being released Wednesday sites drought and demand as problems facing the Colorado River.

The federal Bureau of Reclamation said the same thing last December.

The Colorado River supplies cities including Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Phoenix. The report says that over the next 50 years, the river will run short of supply for the more than 40 million people it serves in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Already, the river is drained of nearly every drop before it reaches Mexico.

The Flint River in Georgia ranks second in the American Rivers report, due to the threat that it'll run dry. The San Salba River in Texas ranks third.
