    What's New in Cobb and Marietta Schools This Year?

    Next week, over 100,000 students will return to schools across Cobb and Marietta. But this year, there's a twist. Cobb County is introducing a groundbreaking VR tool, Prisms of Reality, in select math and science classes. This $2 million investment aims to make learning more interactive by solving real-world problems in a virtual environment.

    Cobb schools are also expanding their free meal program through the Community Eligibility Provision, removing barriers for students who need it most.

    And in Marietta, a revamped cafeteria menu focusing on healthy, multicultural options awaits students, thanks to Chef David Garcia. Plus, new phone policies and literacy programs are rolling out to improve focus and reading skills.

  • Cobb Passes $1.3 Billion Budget, Keeps Millage Rate Flat in Partisan Votes

    Cobb Passes $1.3 Billion Budget, Keeps Millage Rate Flat in Partisan Votes
    Jul 24 2024

    From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, July 24th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

    Cobb Passes $1.3 Billion Budget, Keeps Millage Rate Flat in Partisan Votes

    The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has made a significant budget decision. Despite public calls for a rollback in the millage rate and reductions in the general fund budget, the Board voted to pass a $1.3 billion budget and maintain the current millage rate.

    The vote was split along partisan lines, with a 3-2 outcome. Commissioners Keli Gambrill and JoAnn Birrell, both Republicans, opposed the budget and millage rate, citing concerns over excess revenue collection.

    While the tax rates will stay flat at 8.46 mills for the general fund and 2.99 mills for the fire fund, rising home values will result in an additional $22.6 million in general fund property tax revenue and $11.7 million more for the fire fund compared to last year.

    Chairwoman Lisa Cupid highlighted the importance of understanding the numbers tied to the budget's "impact items," which include an $8.4 million step-and-grade plan for public safety personnel.
