I am demanding for myself and every citizen of Cobb County an explanation as to how many illegal activities and egregious abuses of citizens' rights have to happen before the state will step in and stop this out-of-control Cobb school board. Our legislators should not even begin to absolve their responsibilities by talking about "local control" or that it should be taken care of at the ballot box. Under our system of checks and balances, our state elected officials should step in when local governments are acting illegally or abusing their power. As anyone can read from the quotes by board members Dr. John Abraham, Lynnda Crowder-Eagle and Superintendent Fred Sanderson, they are completely unfazed by this grand jury investigation and will continue business as usual. If the Cobb grand jury launched an investigation and admonished the school board, there is obviously a huge problem.
Abraham, Crowder-Eagle and Sanderson are far too arrogant to step down or even admit any wrongdoing on their own. Our state elected officials are obligated to now do everything in their power to make sure that this board and administration face serious consequences. The taxpayers in Cobb County deserve answers.
