Press release from the Cobb County School District:

May 21, 2021

With many questions about Critical Race Theory being sent to the District during Thursday's Board of Education meeting, many in the Cobb community, the media, and across the state wondered what Cobb Schools would say about the issue.

Superintendent Chris Ragsdale made it clear that the staff in Cobb Schools will continue to focus on keeping Cobb's schools, schools. "As long as I am Superintendent, I will commit to keeping any theory or curriculum, which is not part of Georgia's standards, out of every Cobb County classroom," Superintendent Ragsdale said on Thursday evening.

District data clearly indicates that the Superintendent's laser-like focus on success for each Cobb student is working for our students, families, and county.
