Inside Cobb Schools Show
Premieres On Cobb edTV
The Cobb County School District’s Cobb
edTV cable channel has added another piece of original
programming to its lineup this month called Inside Cobb
Schools. The show features one-on-one interviews with
students, teachers and District administrators, as well as
news segments highlighting educational activities in Cobb.
The purpose of Inside Cobb Schools is to provide the
community with in-depth information about initiatives and
issues within the school district, from the people most
directly involved.
The show represents an example of the
broadcast partnership between the school district and
Chattahoochee Technical College. Already a full partner in
the oversight and content of COBB edTV, Chattahoochee Tech
is providing studio time at its east Cobb campus for the
taping of Inside Cobb Schools, as well as access to the
school’s student production staff. The show is directed by
Cobb edTV station manager Kevin O’Shea, and hosted by
Allison Toller, executive assistant to Superintendent
Fred Sanderson.

Mrs.
Toller said, “Inside Cobb Schools presents an opportunity
for the Cobb community to learn more about the District, put
faces and personalities with the services provided, and make
this large School District more accessible and
understandable.”
The premiere episode features an interview
with Chief Technology Officer Chris Ragsdale regarding the
21st Century Classroom initiative and the District’s
technology improvements. Upcoming installments will include
conversations with Dr. Donald Dunnigan, chief human
resources officer, and Cynthia Downs, executive director of
food and nutrition services.
Inside Cobb Schools will air on Fridays and
Saturdays at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 11 a.m. and
