The Cobb County School District announced Friday it has begun sending out the first of 8,000 teacher contracts for the 2019-20 school year. 
Cobb schools said in a release that all contracts will be distributed by the end of the day on Monday.
Deputy Superintendent John Adams said Cobb schools are offering contracts to nearly 98 percent of teachers and full-time certified employees. Those also include counselors, psychologists and food service directors.
“By offering early, we can identify areas of need, hire the very best, and allow our teachers to plan for the next school year as early possible,” Superintendent Chris Ragsdale said in a statement. “We are making commitments to our teachers and a promise to our students, parents, and community that Cobb will continue to be the best place to teach, lead, and learn.”
