AROUND TOWN: Democratic takeover of Cobb school board puts Ragsdale's future in question

Big changes are coming to the Cobb County Board of Education. Last week, Democrat Micheal Garza unseated three-term Republican incumbent and David Chastain in the race for the Post 4 seat on the school board. The win gives Democrats their first majority on the board in decades. Garza won with 54.85% of the vote over Chastain’s 45.15%. Garza earned 25,493 votes in total, compared to Chastain’s 20,982, according to the Georgia secretary of state’s election results. Results were certified by the Cobb Elections Board Monday Garza is set to flip the board to a 4-3 Democratic majority when he is sworn in January. “Yes, the board has flipped. The dynamics will change with a new board member, so we will see what that looks like,” Democratic board member Nichelle Davis of Post 6 told the Journal. “But the long story short is, of course, the goal is getting things done for our students. So I’m looking forward to welcoming him and doing that.” In a video posted to his Facebook page Sunday, Republican John Cristadoro, who represents Post 5 on the school board, said he did not view the widespread Democratic victories down the ballot as “a massive call for

How Ryan Seacrest is giving his old high school football team something it never had

The future of Dunwoody (GA) High School football is being built by more than just the players on the field. It's being built by hundreds of community members who have come together to give the Wildcats something they've never had before: a stadium of its own. Fueled by a donation from Dunwoody alum and television host Ryan Seacrest and a community-wide fundraising effort, Seacrest Stadium is officially set to break ground the week of Nov. 23, following county approval on Nov. 9. And when it opens next fall, the whole community will be able to call it their own. “I think we’re all kind of part owners of this,” said Steve Fortenberry, former teacher and president of the Dunwoody High School Community Association. “I think you’re really going to see that it wasn’t just the county building this and we show up. This is Dunwoody’s stadium. We are kind of the Green Bay Packers of the high schools.” The project has been years in the making, but it took a collective effort from the community to turn the vision into a reality. It started with a donation of more than $1 million from Seacrest, who played defensive back for the

GCPS: No money for Gwinnett teacher retention bonuses this year

Gwinnett County teachers are not getting retention bonuses that educators had anticipated since the county’s school board adopted its budget earlier this year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools officials say its because there was no state funding to support it. Teachers learned the one-time $2,000 bonuses were not coming via an email that was sent out Monday night. Within a couple of hours, screen shots of the email, which appeared to have also been accidentally sent to parents through ParentVue, were circulating on social media. “The supplement was contingent on funding from the state of Georgia,” district officials sad in the message. “That funding was not included in the approved state budget, and GCPS does not have funding available in its current budget to provide the supplement independently. “We recognize this news may be disappointing. We value the dedication of our teachers and staff and understand the importance of compensation in attracting and retaining the talented professionals who serve our students every day.” The retention bonuses were among the features touted as benefits of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2027 budget, which went into affect over the summer. The district also gave employees step increases on the salary scale
