/ #162 School Calendar

To my understanding, over 70% of the county and 80% of the teachers voted to keep the balanced calendar (the calendar that was promised to us for 3 years) in place. Why was the calendar changed for 30% of the district? The explanations that have been offered to date, do not seem to hold water. I think what seems to have most people angry about this change (as there has been much dialogue amongst Cobb County residents over this recent board vote) was the blatant disregard of the wishes of the majority of teachers and parents. We need to know what we can do to change the calendar back to what the majority of Cobb County wants. We need direction on how to mobilize and affect change.
