@RepClayFuller You should meet with the families & taxpayers impacted because Cobb County Schools didn’t do the right thing.

Congrats to all the departments who were honored!

@RepLoudermilk Is it true that Veterans Day is being canned?

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

@atrupar What a despicable display of stupidity, indecency, incompetence & politicizing a true tragedy.

@Georgia_AG The nonsense goes both ways but you only comment on it one way… for instance. Still no action on our complaint against @CobbSchools for breaking Open Government laws

@GabrielSterling @CNN Sounds like other people we know.

@cspan @BrettFavre Hypocrite.

When your school district has nearly $3B in tax 💵💰💲and wants to build an unnecessary $50m event center AND has schools in need of serious repairs.

@Georgia_AG What are you doing about our school district breaking Open Meetings and Open Records laws?

@RebeccaGaunt There’s no reason taxpayers & parents should be learning about the name of the co. or how much has been spent from a news article. Many asked the question. The supt. refused to answer. But a reporter can look on LinkedIn and get a little info from the district? #wedeservebetter

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

@GwinnettSchools How great that you are asking for student and stakeholder feedback! Our district has a history of suppressing and ignoring our opinions and concerns. @RebeccaGaunt Gaunt

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

Attended a school board candidates' forum last night—3 GOP candidates didn’t show. Transparency and engagement came up repeatedly. @cobbschools has denied both for years. That’s why we filed a complaint with the AG. It’s time to hold them accountable! #Transparency

[Cobb County Courier @CobbCourier]

Watchdog group "Watching the Funds" requested an investigation of the Cobb County School District's handling of open records requests #Cobbschools #CobbCounty #transparency

@RebeccaGaunt Unbelievable and yet not surprising

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

We're asking the GA Attorney General to:
INVESTIGATE these violations of Open Records & Open Meetings Acts IMPLEMENT corrective measures PROVIDE training & enforce ongoing oversight
CCSD needs to understand: Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the law! #Accountability #Transparency

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

🚨@CobbSchools has a serious transparency problem. They’ve delayed responses to Open Records requests, slapped us with outrageous fees and violated Open Mtgs Act. @Georgia_AG @GAFirstAmend @AJC @EastCobbNews @WABE @CobbSchools @OpenGovHub @GeorgiaDemocrat @mdjonline #gapol

@LisaforGeorgia Thank you for supporting Laura. She has been a valuable part of our team. We miss her and her leadership aa she works hard to earn votes but look forward her partnership when she wins 💚💚

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

In short, the school district’s own decisions left the court with no choice but to reject their appeal, highlighting the costly mistakes and miscalculations that have left taxpayers with a $1.8 million bill. #thisiscobb Meanwhile…

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

So, @CobbSchools appeal was DISMISSED by the 11th Circuit Court The court's opinion was clear: the Cobb County School District had no business appealing the case because they had already asked to be dismissed and were granted that dismissal.

[Watching the Funds-Cobb @Watching_CCSD]

Despite this, they continued to make legal missteps by trying to participate as a nonparty. The court emphasized that their actions—participating only as an amicus and not as a party—failed to meet the legal requirements for standing, leading the court to dismiss their appeal.
