Last day of school for metro students this week

A Cobb County school bus stops on Six Flags Drive to let students off Oct. 8. Cobb County school buses are equipped with a cellphone GPS system. Complaints are down and more kids are being picked up on time thanks to the system the county purchased a little more than a year ago, according to administrators.
