It seems that the Board members who voted against the Aug. 15th calendar are the most active in the schools and have a more realsitic view of why the balanced calendar is best for students and teachers. I was shocked to hear at Bartlett's town hall that Osborne doesn't have a full time social worker. Important issues like that (in her area schools) should be her main concern if she truly wants to do what is best for students.
To the person commenting about teacher absences - yes I was out more last year. Reason - my daughter had braces and I teach middle school. If you don't know the Cobb MS schedule - it is impossible to make appts. before or after school - you must take sick days. This year - 0 sick days thanks to the balanced calendar.
