Less than a month after conducting its first elementary school redistricting public forum, the Cobb County School District will hold another pubic information gathering meeting Tuesday night at .
And unlike the mid-May forum at where the discussion concerned all three of the new elementary schools that are scheduled to open in the next few years in the southern part of the county, tonight’s meeting will focus specifically on .

Even if you can’t make Tuesday night’s meeting, Smyrna residents are asked to provide feedback at the school district’s website here.
