WEST COBB, GA -- The Cobb County School District is changing its hours for more than a month beginning next week. The district will adopt a four-day summer schedule effective Monday, June 5, the district said this week.

The switch will allow the district to conserve energy and save as much as half a million dollars in taxpayer funds, the school system said. The four-day schedule will run through Friday, July 14.
