MARIETTA — Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle met with almost 50 school superintendents and central office staff members from Georgia’s 19 charter systems at the Marietta City Schools district office Wednesday for the first-ever workshop held by Charter System Foundation Inc. The organization, which was started a few months ago, was invited by Marietta Superintendent Emily Lembeck to host its first event at Marietta Schools’ central office. Other districts represented were Barrow, Madison and Fulton counties. Dan Weber, the foundation’s executive director, said Cagle addressed the group during their lunch break and talked about his vision for public education in Georgia and the idea of entrepreneurship untying the hands of teachers and school systems from the state. State Sen. Lindsey Tippins (R-west Cobb), who chairs the Senate Education Committee, along with members from the Georgia Department of Education, also attended the all-day session.

Jun 19, 2013 | 0 views | 0 0 comments | 1 1 recommendations | email to a friend | print
From staff reports A Marietta man remains in the Cobb County jail on multiple charges after he was reportedly seen pushing an elderly man out of his wheelchair at a local fast food restaurant. Jack Harshaw, 58, is accused of grabbing a 67-year-old man’s wheelchair and pushing it to the ground at the Wendy’s on South Marietta Parkway on June 11. According to the arrest warrant, the man has a prosthetic leg and the person who reported the incident to police said the elderly man had a “large abrasion” on his left arm. Harshaw left the scene but was later arrested at a hotel on Cobb Parkway. According to jail records, there were two other warrants issued for his arrest. The first warrant, which has a $25,000 bond, accuses Harshaw of identity fraud, insurance fraud and distribution of Hydrocodone. The second warrant, which has a $10,000 bond, accuses Harshaw of distribution of Hydrocodone.
