Of the 229 Cobb school retirees honored by the Cobb County School District on Thursday, some of the longest-serving teachers and staff have been at East Cobb schools. They include the following, with their total years of service to the district:
- Lassiter High School food services manager Jeannie Ledbetter, 39 years;
Deborah Poss - Lassiter High School teacher Donald Slater, 38 years;
- Walton High School custodian Lawrence Moon, 36 years;
- Lassiter High School teacher Deborah Poss, 35 years;
- East Side Elementary School teacher Debra Denise Clackum, 35 years.
“It is the greatest part-time job with benefits that you could ever have. You get summers off. You get to enjoy life,” Ledbetter said.
The luncheon took place at Roswell Street Baptist Church, and Lassiter student Will Cole took part in the festivities by singing the national anthem; he’s pictured below.
The total service logged by the retiring 229 employees comes to 5,009 years.
