COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Channel 2 Action News investigation has found the Cobb County School District has spent more than $700,000 on pricey travel, all while denying raises for teachers.

Some of that money was spent on expensive hotel rooms.

Channel 2's Justin Wilfon obtained documents showing how the school system has spent its money.

Cobb County Schools rejected raises for teachers last year, but we found the district had plenty of money to spend on travel.

A source within the district told Channel 2 Action News that travel spending among administrators was on the rise, so we decided to take a look into where the money was being spent.

Wilfon looked through several years of records that show district administrators and some teachers attending a growing list of conferences from coast to coast.
