Cobb school board may end broadcasts of public comments

The Cobb Board of Education on Thursday will hear a proposed policy that would allow the Cobb County School District to stop airing public comments from citizens on its meeting broadcasts.

The measure also would add “tortious” comments to those described as “slanderous, or defamatory . . . or other unsubstantiated claims about an identified or identifiable employee” that would be prohibited from being made by public commenters at the meetings.

That policy change proposal is among several put on the agenda by Superintendent Chris Ragsdale and to be presented to the board at a work session Thursday at 2 p.m., followed by possible voting action Thursday at 7 p.m.
