With two weeks to go before the start of a new school year, two Cobb County schools are losing their principals.
Tracie Doe of Timber Ridge Elementary School and Robin Lattizori of Dodgen Middle School have been named area assistant superintendents in the Cobb County School District.
The Cobb Board of Education approved the appointments Wednesday.
Doe will oversee all schools in Area 5, which includes the Allatoona, Harrison, Hillgrove and McEachern high school districts. She will replace former Pope principal Rick Beaulieu, who has left to take an administrative position with Atlanta Public Schools.
Lattizori will succeed Doreen Griffeth in overseeing East Cobb's Area 3, which covers the Lassiter, Pope, Walton and Wheeler high school districts. The middle schools include Dickerson, Dodgen, East Cobb, Hightower Trail, Mabry and Simpson. The elementary schools include Brumby, Davis, East Side, Eastvalley, Garrison Mill, Mount Bethel, Mountain View, Murdock, Powers Ferry, Rocky Mount, Sedalia Park, Shallowford Falls, Sope Creek, Timber Ridge and Tritt.
Griffeth is leaving to become the superintendent of schools in Cullman, Ala.
The school board will vote later on principal appointments at Timber Ridge and Dodgen.
Also on Wednesday, the board approved funding to begin architectural design work for construction projects at Walton and Wheeler high schools.
The Walton contract was awarded in the amount of $1.4 million to Chapman Griffin Lanier Sussenbach Architects, Inc. of Smyrna. The $40 million project will include a new main classroom building, gymnasium and fine arts facility.
The board also approved an architectural design contract totaling $855,277 for Croft and Associates of Kennesaw for plans to build a new gymnasium at theatre at Wheeler.
