The Cobb Board of Education will be asked on Thursday to approve spending $1.6 million for a new roof at Sope Creek Elementary School.
An agenda item states that the Cobb County School District will ask the board to award a contract to Roof Technology Partners of Woodstock to do the work, which is expected to be completed by August 2025.
It’s one of several renovation contracts on the board’s agenda that include Cobb Education SPLOST-VI projects at Ford Elementary School, Harrison High School and Kennesaw Mountain High School.
The board also will be asked to approve a contract for $4.535 to purchase 27 school buses and four van mail trucks.
Those items will be presented for discussion at a work session that begins at 2 p.m. Thursday in the board room of the CCSD Central Office, 514 Glover St., Marietta.
The items will be considered for a vote at a 7 p.m. business meeting at the same venue. An executive session will take place in between.

The open meetings also will be live-streamed on the Cobb County School District’s BoxCast channel and on CobbEdTV, Comcast Channel 24.
The executive session, which is limited to land, legal, personnel and student discipline matters, is closed to the public.
The work session agenda says there will be a video presentation of the first day of school and a presentation on student outcomes, but didn’t elaborate on the latter.
At the night meeting, recognitions include Walton High School’s athletics program receiving the Georgia Athletic Directors Association Director’s Cup for overall sports success in the 2023-24 school year.
Also to be recognized by the board will be Misa McFarlin, Tanushri Dhamotharan, and Edore Oseragbaje of Wheeler High School, who are the 2023-2024 SkillsUSA State Leadership Conference State Gold Award Winners for Career Pathway Showcase Business Management and Technology.
