Cobb and Marietta schools close for the day

Cobb County Schools has called off school for the day in the face of some snow and ice accumulation.

The system started the morning with opening at a regular time, but called for a two-hour delay before 7 a.m. At about 8:45 a.m., the system decided to close schools for the day.

The same was true for Marietta city elementary schools, which called for closing before 9 a.m. The middle and high school will continue on a normal schedule, as of 9:15 a.m.

Cobb’s system uses about 30 designated drivers to get out as early as 4 a.m. and check out roads around the county. After getting reports, the system makes a decision whether to open or close.
