Cobb school board turns to out-of-county students to avoid closures

MARIETTA — Under threat of school closures, the Cobb Board of Education gave the greenlight to out-of-district admissions Thursday. The board approved the policy in a vote of 4-2-1, with Democrats Becky Sayler and Tre Hutchins voting no and Nichelle Davis abstaining. District staff first announced the “Choose Cobb” program Nov. 4. Under the program, Georgia families living outside Cobb County can send their children to participating county schools for a $600 tuition fee per student each semester. District leaders have said the program was created to boost declining school enrollment numbers in Cobb that reflect a larger phenomenon both statewide and nationally. John Floresta, the district’s chief strategy & accountability officer, said Fulton County and Atlanta have recently made plans to close some of their public schools, and Cobb must take appropriate measures to avoid a similar situation. “If we do not do something about the current state of enrollment, the only other choice will be to close schools,” Floresta said. “I don’t know how else to say that bluntly. That is just a fact of where we are.” The board changed its school admissions policy, which previously only allowed out-of-district enrollment in its virtual school program. Superintendent Chris
