Voters will decide on the primaries after the 2022 PSC vote was canceled after an August 5 ruling by the U.S. District Court that the procedures for the at-large races previously held violated the Voting Rights Act.

Now the races are back on the ballot, the November 4 election this year will be a statewide race.

If needed, a primary run-off will be held on July 15.

Students who get their meals from the cafeteria and owed the school for the cost of breakfast and lunch can breathe a sigh of relief at Paulding County High School. One local business cut a check to ensure that those costs are covered to end 2025.

Paulding County High School offered their appreciation to Bleakley RV Service Center for ensuring that some $1,200 of debt on for student lunches are paid off to end the calendar year ahead of the holiday break for the Patriots student body.

“A huge THANK YOU to for their incredible generosity! They donated over $1,200 to completely pay off our school lunch debt. Your kindness makes a big difference for our students and families,” the post noted.

Bleakley RV Service Center is located in Douglasville and provides maintenance and repairs on various types of recreational vehicles like motorhomes in Paulding County.
