Summary
At its Nov. 11 meeting the Coweta County Board of Education approved the 2026 meeting calendar, added three AP/pre-AP courses at Newnan High School and adopted resolutions certifying a local 1% sales tax election result and completed work at Newnan High School; all motions passed 7–0.
The Coweta County Board of Education on Nov. 11, 2025 approved a slate of routine agenda items, including the district’s 2026 meeting calendar, new high-school course offerings and several formal resolutions.
The board voted unanimously to adopt the 2026 calendar of regular meetings to be held at 167 Wirz Industrial Boulevard, and approved Newnan High School’s requests to add AP World History, pre-AP Biology and pre-AP Chemistry as systemwide options. Superintendent Doctor Horton said the new courses will be taught by current staff and “no additional staff required.”
Board members also approved a resolution declaring the results of last week’s election to continue a 1% sales and use tax for educational purposes and issuance of general obligation debt. A board member publicly thanked county voters for reapproving the tax, saying the board and superintendent will be "good stewards of taxpayer funds." The vote on the resolution passed 7 to 0.
Separately, the board adopted resolutions certifying completion of identified construction work at Newnan High School — including roofing and HVAC projects tied to state project number 23-638-002 — and directed staff to forward the certifications to the Georgia Department of Education. Those resolutions also passed unanimously.
All formal motions presented during the meeting recorded a 7–0 tally in favor. The board recessed into executive session to discuss personnel, real estate and potential litigation after regular business concluded.
