With Cobb’s school system at a crossroads, three of the seven seats on the Board of Education are on the ballot for the upcoming primary.
School board members will be tasked with finding a new superintendent to lead the state’s second-largest school district, while also trying to rebuild the financially strapped system after years of budget cuts.
Eight candidates are competing for the three available seats on the school board, with the primary election May 20.
Incumbent Tim Stultz and challengers Jeff Abel and Susan Thayer – all Republicans — are running for the Post 2 Cobb School Board seat. Democrat Kenya Pierre will run against the winner in the fall.
Two Republicans are vying for the Post 4 school board seat being vacated by board chairwoman Kathy Angelucci — David Chastain and Bill Scott. There are no Democrats running.
Two Republicans are competing for the Post 6 school board seat — incumbent Scott Sweeney and Kevin Nicholas. There is no Democrat running.
