ACCESS announces school item donation initiative

 

    At last Thursday’s School Board meeting, several of the parents expressed concerns about possible material shortages in their schools resulting from the current budget cuts at the state and local level due to current economic slowdown. Prior to the public comment section of the meeting Chairman John Abraham asked requested that parents provide solutions as well as problems and where possible to think “outside the box”.

 

   In response to Chairman Abraham’s challenge, and in keeping with ACCESS’s mission statement to advance Cobb County education and to support our students,  ACCESS is announcing the school item donation initiative

   The purpose of the website will be to provide a webpage where teachers may post a list of items needed by their class, such as paper, supplies, software or equipment. Individuals interested in supporting the Cobb County Schools can review the list of and select items  they would be interested in donating or purchasing for the schools. They would then contact the teacher and make arrangements to purchase or donate the items.

 

   Teachers wanting to post a list of items need to contact ACCESS at access@cobbaccess.org to provide the following information:

 

   Teacher’s name, class, school, items, quantity, contact information (phone or email), and date of request. Once a request is filled, teachers will be requested to contact ACCESS to have their request removed from the list. The requests will be posted in order received.

 

The requests will be posted in this page using the following format:
