New School Post Borders: Banks or Angelucci?

The realignment of Cobb County school board posts changes school board member posts in Northeast Cobb.

 

Either David Banks or Kathleen Angelucci is your representative on the Cobb County Board of Education if you live in Northeast Cobb since the Georgia General Assembly enacted new post borders Thursday night.

To accommodate population growth in northwest Cobb since 2000, the census-driven realignment expands the geography covered by eastern districts and creates a clockwise domino effect. Banks has battled the proposals throughout the process.

The reappointment map doesn't make it clear who is representing what for those of us who live in unincorporated Cobb in ZIP code 30066.

It appears that David Banks' Post 5 will lose Sprayberry High School, Kincaid Elementary School, Addison Elementary School, and Rocky Mount Elementary School.

Banks lost some territory on the west side of his post to Kathleen Angelucci’s Post 4 and picked up some of Sweeney’s area to the south and east. Sweeney’s post, in turn, spread south into Smyrna and Vinings to take in part of Tim Stultz’s Post 2.

“As best I can tell, Post 5 will pick up East Side E.S, and Eastvalley E.S., Sedalia Park E.S., and Powers Ferry E.S.,” Banks wrote in his David’s Grapevine email newsletter.

In East Cobb, Wheeler High now sits in Banks’ district, while East Cobb Middle across the street is in Sweeney’s. The student populations for both schools are divided between them.

Many schools fall close to the border, including Walton High, Dodgen Middle, East Side Elementary and Eastvalley Elementary.

Northeast Cobb Patch will offer clearer information when we get it, but be sure to pay close attention to your next voter registration card.
