These students were recognized for scoring in the top 10% nationwide on the PSAT. Each scholar received an embroidered “Key Scholar” letter-jacket patch, pen, and keychain. Additionally, students who scored at the 95th percentile or higher received a special cord for graduation. The program costs were sponsored by Cobb EMC and LGE Community Credit Union. The names of the scholars and group photos by school are available on the CCSD website. STORY 2: Georgia Senators Debate State Pullout From Accrediting American Library Association Conservative state senators in Georgia are advocating for the state's withdrawal from the American Library Association (ALA), a nonprofit organization. The debate arises from disagreements over the ALA's position on diversity in library materials. This matter was discussed in the Senate Government Oversight Committee, with some senators expressing concerns about the ALA's stances. Interestingly, State Librarian Julie Walker pointed out that Georgia's Public Library Service is not currently affiliated with the ALA, suggesting that disconnection might be feasible. However, the proposed bill, referred to as Senate Bill 390, aims to prevent state and local entities from spending funds on the ALA. The bill also proposes to relax requirements for public library directors. Critics of the bill, including the dean of Valdosta State University's library studies program, warn that this could lead to accreditation issues and financial repercussions. In addition to SB 390, another bill known as SB 394 is under consideration. This bill seeks to regulate the materials available in school libraries, sparking debates over potential censorship and the role of educators. STORY 3: New Georgia Senate Committee Investigating Fani Willis Vows Nonpartisan Approach The Special Committee on Investigations in the Georgia Senate, under the leadership of Sen. Bill Cowsert, has assembled to scrutinize allegations surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her management of a case involving former President Donald Trump. Cowsert stressed the committee's dedication to unbiased and comprehensive examination of the allegations, which include claims of inappropriate relationships influencing the case. Willis, however, has firmly denied any misconduct. The procedural rules of the committee ensure bipartisan representation, providing Democrats with the opportunity to partake in depositions and questioning. Cowsert underscored the gravity of the investigation, aiming to circumvent political bias and media exaggeration. To facilitate this, the committee intends to promptly employ staff and initiate its work, prioritizing fact-finding, and transparency.

The market, which will run from mid-April to December, mandates that vendors grow at least 85% of their products. This rule ensures that the produce sold at the market is fresh and locally sourced. Applications will be evaluated in March not based on order of submission, but on the quality of the goods and their fit for the market. The goal of the market is to support local growers, emphasize the significance of locally sourced products, and create opportunities for education about agriculture and food preparation. Potential vendors can submit their applications either online or in person. Over 50 applicants are anticipated to be approved for participation in this year's market. STORY 5: Cherokee District Attorney Susan Treadaway Appointed to Georgia Board of Public Safety Cherokee County District Attorney Susan Treadaway has been appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp to the Georgia Board of Public Safety, with the swearing-in ceremony held at the Capitol. The board oversees law enforcement and transportation safety, including agencies like the Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. It ensures adherence to high standards of law enforcement, oversees training, and implements initiatives for public safety. Treadaway expressed gratitude for the appointment, highlighting the opportunity to contribute to overseeing state agencies and working with fellow board members and state leaders.
