A private school was denied permission Tuesday to build a temporary campus in South Cobb near Smyrna. The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to deny The SAE School from receiving a special permit to build three one-story modular classroom buildings to serve about 300 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade. Commissioners cited concerns about the location, which is close to several industrial businesses. Info: www.cobbcountyga.gov
