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.
