Cobb County School District on Thursday night has reversed the school calendar that they voted in for a three year period. The balanced calendar offered more breaks throughout the school year and had a slightly earlier start date. The school board members took it upon themselves to overturn the recently implemented calendar even though there was overwhelming support for the balanced calendar by teachers, students and parents. Through an online survey, 72% were in favor of leaving it. The new calendar has not even been in effect long enough to see results, yet board members decided to revert back. Aren't these board members supposed to be the "voice of the people"? obviously, the people spoke. If this can be changed so quickly, why don't we have the opportunity to go back and vote for our board members again? This Cobb County resident is disgusted. Shame on you Cobb County School Board.
