The Cobb Board of Education is expected to vote on a recommendation to reduce one of three staff furlough days during its Thursday business meeting. The meeting takes place at 7 p.m. in the boardroom of the Cobb County School District central office, 514 Glover Street, Marietta. Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has proposed taking back one of the furlough days as "a good gesture to send to our employees" after a painful fiscal year 2012 budget process that resulted in more than $60 million in cuts. But at a Sept. 12 work session, board members Tim Stultz and Alison Bartlett expressed opposition to the furlough reduction. District officials estimated the furlough cut would cost $3 million. Also on the board agenda Thursday are several …

Three staff furlough days worked into the current Cobb County School District budget would be reduced to two under a proposal by Superintendent Michael Hinojosa. That item is on the discussion agenda near the end of Wednesday's Cobb Board of Education work session. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. in the board room of CCSD central office at 514 Glover Street, Marietta. (For details on the full work session agenda, please see the accompanying PDF document.) Eliminating a furlough day is possible now, according to the proposal, due to utility savings from last winter. The issue of furlough days was one of the most contentious parts of the school board's fiscal year 2013 budget deliberations in May. On May 17, at its scheduled business …

After a drawn out process, the Board of Commissioners is expected to approve the revenue-generating venture.
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners are expected to approve a contract that will allow advertising to be placed on the windows of Cobb Community Transit (CCT) buses to generate additional revenue for the county. As reported by The Marietta Daily Journal, the process to approve a contractor for this project has taken roughly a year due to the lack of competitive bidding. In May, the county invited representatives to examine the dimensions of CCT buses, which caused two more companies to submit bids. The contract was won by Signal Outdoor Advertising, of Orlando. The ads are expected to bring in at least $60,000 in the first year, at least $70,000 in the second year, and at least $80,000 in 2015, when the project is slated to end. This …
