The Marietta City Schools Board of Education met Tuesday to discuss updates on the upcoming consolidation and restructuring of schools and the consideration of a new levy.
According to Superintendent Will Hampton, enrollment for the school district was down significantly this year, which has played a role in the recommendation to lose approximately 19 teaching positions.
“By consolidating and reducing our footprint we are able to be more efficient,” Hampton said.
Board member Russell Garrison highlighted that the loss of these positions will potentially be a combination of retirements and resignations, which will hopefully soften the unwanted impact.

After classes conclude this week, Marietta City Schools students will stay home the first two weeks of instruction in 2021.
Superintendent Will Hampton asked the district’s board of education on Monday to approve the option to remain fully remote for all students following the winter holidays.
He recommended the return of Cohort 1 to buildings on Jan. 19 and Cohort 2 on Jan. 25.
