Cobb school board members get first look at budget

Cobb school board members will get their first look at the district's proposed budget Thursday, at the board's regularly scheduled meeting. Budget officials said they planned to present a balanced 2012 budget, despite previous estimates showing the district was facing a $40 million to $50 million shortfall. The budget will still likely include furlough days and delayed salary increases, but additional cuts are not expected. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at 514 Glover St. in Marietta.
