Parking at the Church Lot Update: The latest word from county officials is that access for parking at the church lot has been delayed again. Though some paving has been completed, this delay is due to the presence of heavy construction equipment and paving materials on the lot, and for the safety and security of students and their vehicles. The new projected release date is August 25th, but students must wait for official word before driving. A reminder that any student assigned to the church lot caught parking on campus risks getting a citation and suspension of parking privileges. Your continued patience is appreciated and we will send an update as soon as possible.
If you have questions, please contact Pam LaVangie at Pamela.lavangie@cobbk12.org.
