Parents say board misled them on replacing old Cobb County school
Parents at one of Cobb County’s oldest schools, which is plagued by sewer backups and other problems, fear they won’t be getting the money the school board promised to rebuild it.
Over the past two years or so, school board members have set aside $10 million from the district’s general fund toward rebuilding the nearly 65-year-old Harmony-Leland Elementary School in south Cobb. Board members had previously indicated they would put another $5 million toward the project sometime this month.
But now they’re telling parents it could be years before they see a new school. Instead of putting aside the $5 million, the board may instead finance the project with revenue from the next education special purpose local option sales tax, or E-SPLOST.
