MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — Cobb County expects to hire about 30 new teachers to cope with overcrowded classrooms.

Superintendent Michael Hinojosa told The Marietta Daily Journal that he will ask the county's school board to approve the new positions during a meeting Wednesday. He said there are more students than expected in the middle school.

Enrollment figures show the district has 105, 757 students. That's 1,364 more students than anticipated. As a result, some classes are well above the district's average student-teacher ratio. The crowding is particularly severe in some of the county's middle schools.
