BOE Votes to Resume Boys & Girls Clubs Transportation

The Cobb Board of Education Thursday voted to resume bus service to the county's two Boys & Girls Club locations, both of which are located in South Cobb.

The bus services were cut after the elimination of the No Child Left Behind program left no more funding.

Local news station 11 Alive teamed up with Cobb parents after reading One of the reporters noted during one of the station's editorial meetings that the story was published here and that they should cover it as well.

According to 11 Alive, "a group of parents and the 11Alive Help Desk joined forces to urge the Cobb Board of Education to restore the bus service, as soon as possible. And Cobb County listened."

Although there is no specific date the service will be restored, Cobb Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa said, "The amount of money needed is not that large to impact the budget. They have enough of a surplus to handle the costs this year."
