The March Board of Education meeting allowed members of the Board and Superintendent to highlight the success of a host of student-athletes. The monthly recognitions also included the District’s School Social Worker of the Year and one of Cobb’s hero bus drivers.
Whether in academics or athletics, Cobb students are wildly successful, and we met many of them tonight. We are so proud of the national leaders our students are, in the classroom and on the field,” said Board Chair Randy Scamihorn.
Also, during the meeting, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale encouraged the community to avoid listening to rumors on social media. He also emphasized the District’s commitment to transparency and staying out of politics so teachers can teach and students can learn.
“In Cobb…the schools with the most need, get the most resources. That is how we have always budgeted and how we will continue to use taxpayer dollars. It is always about the highest student and staff needs,” said Superintendent Chris Ragsdale.
