Petition for a Balanced Calendar in Cobb Schools

I am the mom of two high school students. Our family LOVED the balanced calendar!!!! The children did better in school and felt less stressed. We were able to go on some wonderful vacations and spend some quality family time together. I've been to several Cobb County Board meetings and I am so sadened that the board members do not care at all what the parents and teachers want. The previous board voted and approved the balanced calendar for three years. The parents and students loved it after just one year. What a shame that we now have a board that just changes what's been approved in a blink of an eye with a survey stating that 82% of administration, staff, parents and students liked the balance calendar. I pray that this petition will make a difference but I believe that the board does not care AT ALL what we want.
