I feel like this will be resolved expeditiously and in the best interest of the citizens of Cobb County.

My priority is providing the maximum academic challenge for each student in the district regardless of their ability.

I support the premise that you do not make school assignments based on race. My understanding of federal law is that you can't make assignments to school based on skin color. That is the issue. Busing is a necessary operational response to that decision. That's a response to a decision to assign students based on skin color.

The reason for that logic and rationale is that technology costs continue to fall every year, and as a result, you get more buying power.

You know, the whole discussion has been turned around.

I'm pleased changes have been considered to the north-south map.

From the very beginning, this redistricting has been about racial balance. Should children be assigned to schools based on skin color? That decision was made early on in this process.

I think administration has said, 'Well, we got to do that because that's what the policy says.' I don't think that's what the policy says.
