Georgia lawmakers could order agencies to broadly share education, child welfare and juvenile court records after four people were shot and killed at Apalachee High School in September.
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday proposed giving public schools a one-time additional $50 million to spend on school safety, but his plan falls short of the increased counseling resources school officials want after four people were shot and killed at Apalachee High School in Winder in September.
The winter storm brought up to about 2 inches of snow over parts of metro Atlanta. In south Georgia, some cities saw between 4-8 inches.
ATLANTA — A Weather Impact Alert is in place through Wednesday morning as a long-duration freeze sets in across north Georgia amid the season's coldest temperatures. Many parts of metro Atlanta could stay at or below freezing for more than 60 hours this week, with areas in the north Georgia mountains seeing freezing temperatures for over 80 hours.
Kemp is proposing one-time school safety grants totaling $50 million. That breaks down to a little over $20,000 per school. This comes just four months after a student opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA. The money would help schools decide what they need for safety, like cameras or other technology and more resource officers.
