STORY 4: Dobbins well-positioned for future, but ‘encroachment’ remains a concern
The third annual Dobbins Stakeholder Meeting focused on the future of Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Cobb County. Col. Michael Parks, the new commander of the 94th Airlift Wing responsible for Dobbins, emphasized the importance of the base's surroundings and potential encroachment. While there are no plans to change the base's mission, continued growth and encroachment could pose challenges. The Pentagon is considering relocating part of the 81st Readiness Division to Dobbins, potentially bringing 700 more soldiers and a $78 million investment. Attendees were urged to lobby congressional representatives to avoid short-term funding via continuing resolutions. Lockheed Martin's Marietta plant, adjacent to the base, is experiencing growth and recently secured a significant aircraft order from Australia, ensuring production until 2030.
STORY 5: Cobb School District says reading bowl still on while questions remain
The Cobb County School District is refuting reports that the 2024 Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (HRRB) has been canceled due to controversies surrounding books. The district confirmed that preparations for the HRRB, open to students in grades 4-12, are underway and will commence in January. Concerns arose because some teachers and media specialists fear repercussions after recent incidents, including a teacher's termination for reading a book on gender inclusivity and the removal of two books from school libraries for containing sexually explicit content. The removals have created a climate of fear among educators who worry about job security. The district denied these allegations and requested specific details rather than media reports to address the claims.
Story 6: Kennesaw State gets long-awaited game with Chattanooga
Kennesaw State's football program will finally face off against Chattanooga, a fellow Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program located less than 100 miles away, after previous scheduling difficulties. The matchup is significant for Kennesaw State as it transitions to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Conference USA next year. Coach Brian Bohannon expressed a desire to play nearby teams to engage the fan base and increase familiarity with opponents. So far, Kennesaw State has played 12 games against current Southern Conference (SoCon) programs, with a record of 8-4. This game against Chattanooga marks a long-awaited addition to their schedule, with limited future SoCon matchups currently planned.
