For the next three weeks, the Cobb County School District will be seeking public comment on what it calls its "Vision 2026" initiative. 

Four public meetings have been called, from next Monday, Nov. 18, to Dec. 5, to brief the public on three operational options the district must choose from by next year.

A new state law requires all public school districts in Georgia to decide from the three options how they intend to operate: 

  • Investing in Educational Excellence School System 
  • Charter System
  • Status Quo School System
More on each of these options can be found by visiting the CCSD's Vision 2026 page.

The public meetings are as follows: 

  • Monday, Nov. 18, Campbell High School
  • Thursday, Nov. 21, South Cobb High School
  • Tuesday, Dec. 3, Kennesaw Mountain High School
  • Thursday, Dec. 5, Lassiter High School
Each of the public sessions begins at 6:30 p.m.; CCSD staff meetings will preceed them at 4:30 p.m.

Public feedback from the meetings will be used to help the district determine which option to pursue.
