Board approves personnel report, affirms three student‑discipline appeals

The Cobb County School District Board on March 19 unanimously approved the Human Resources personnel report and affirmed three student‑discipline hearing decisions.

Chief Human Resources Officer Keeley Bowen presented the personnel report from executive session and noted one principal‑level recommendation: the resignation of Jill Spiva, principal of Addison Elementary School, effective June 30, 2026. The board then moved to accept the personnel report.

During the voting sequence, the board recorded each motion and vote. The motion to accept the personnel report passed (7 in favor, none against). The board also considered three student‑discipline appeals identified in the session record as appeals 10, 11 and 12. Board member Mr. Cristadouro moved to affirm the hearing decision in appeal 10; that motion and subsequent motions to affirm appeals 11 and 12 passed with recorded tallies of 7‑0 for each.

The meeting record as read during the session lists the motions and the unanimous tallies; no additional penalties, remedies or public details of the student discipline decisions were included in the meeting transcript. The board placed 11 work‑session items on the consent agenda and, seeing no objection, approved them before adjourning.

Votes and formal actions were recorded during the public meeting transcript; the transcript does not provide further details about the content of the discipline hearings or the specific personnel report entries beyond the named principal resignation.
