Today's riddle: What did the fish say when she hit a wall? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• One county's approach; Mayor 'fired'; Another appeal (wgtjradio.com) — Gwinnett County Police are tightening controls on their Flock license-plate camera system after firing three officers for misuse, now requiring supervisor approval for every search and retraining staff while an audit proceeds. The same statewide roundup notes Stockbridge's mayor being removed from office and an upcoming clemency hearing for a Cobb County death-row inmate.
• More states are putting panic alarms in schools (highlandcountypress.com) — Gwinnett County's school board is highlighted as an early adopter of a $7 million wearable panic-button system, part of a growing national trend toward school emergency alerts. The piece explains how different states are implementing Alyssa's Law, compares technologies and costs, and notes debate over whether such systems should be mandated when most alerts involve routine school incidents.
• Survey: Georgia teachers report rising stress, second jobs (statenews.net) — Local educators in Gwinnett County report that immigration enforcement activity has driven thousands of students out of the district and increased absenteeism, adding to already high teacher stress. A national union survey finds many teachers considering leaving, while Georgia lawmakers debate policies on librarians, retired teachers and literacy coaches, all shaping classroom conditions here.
