Cobb school board approves purchase of 37 school buses, several renovations

MARIETTA — The Cobb County School District board unanimously approved several renovations and replacements to Cobb school facilities at its monthly voting session Thursday night, along with the purchase of 37 school buses. The district is purchasing the buses from Peach State Trucks for an estimated total of $6,082,800. Just over $3.8 million of that funding comes from SPLOST, while the remaining $2.23 million is from the Georgia Department of Education and the Volkswagen Clean Air Act settlement. Once approved and delivered, this purchase will bring Cobb’s total bus fleet to just over 215 buses according to district chief technology & operations officer Marc Smith. “This will be a refresh of existing buses that are either already been removed or will be removed once we receive the 37,” Smith said.
