1. Ashley Dykes, the executive director of Project ReNewal will be the guest speaker at TRIAD in Loganville on Sep. 2. at the Retreat at Loganville. The TRIAD meetings each month allow local senior citizens to gather with law enforcement and learn about what's happening in the community, as well as learn about safety concerns.

2. Changes are coming to Gwinnett County Schools' disciplinary procedures after board members learned that more Gwinnett students were being assigned to an alternative school than five metro districts combined. The approved changes focused on implementing various interventions, such as adult advocation for children, before discipline. On the flip side, some parents are expressing concerns that the school will fail to discipline students who need to be disciplined. (WSB Atlanta)
3. 44-year-old Jason Bradley Hood of nearby Monroe was arrested Friday on child pornography charges and charged with three counts of possession. During the investigation, starting from a tip received from the Internet Crimes Against Children database, police confiscated cell phones and other devices from Hood's residence. The investigation continues, according to the Monroe Police Department, and more charges could be filed in the process. (Your Local News)
