Cobb school board COVID-19

The Cobb Board of Education will hold a special called meeting Thursday to discuss personnel matters.

The board will meet at 12 p.m. in the board room of the Cobb County School District Central Office (514 Glover St., Marietta).

According to a notice on the district website, the board “may then reconvene in open session to take action on items from Executive Session, if necessary.”

Public elected bodies in Georgia may meet in executive session for personnel, land and legal reasons, and school boards also may meet behind closed doors for student disciplinary matters.

Thursday’s meeting will place just before the Cobb school district’s 2022-23 academic year begins on Monday, Aug. 1.

The board must approve staff appointments at the principal level or above, including certain central office positions.

Walton High School in East Cobb will be getting a new principal after former principal Catherine Mallanda was named the district’s chief academic officer earlier this month.
