Gov. Kemp sings new safety law, protocols coming to all Georgia public schools


CANDLER COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) – Monday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed new legislation following the deadly Apalachee High School shooting in September.

After four people were killed and nine others were injured in the shooting, school safety was top of mind for many Georgians. Now, Governor Kemp has mandated schools to implement a list of school safety measures.

The new law is called “Ricky and Allyssa’s Law,” in part named after Richard Aspinwall, an Apalachee coach who died in the September shooting.

It requires all Georgia public schools to provide maps of their buildings to law enforcement and makes it easier for schools to share student information with other districts.

It also mandates that every teacher and administrator have access to panic alert technology.

“Response time is everything,” said Jordan Jones, the Assistant Superintendent for Candler County Schools. The district has been using this technology since 2018.

All Candler County teachers wear a Centegix badge, which has a button on the back that they can press to alert law enforcement of an emergency.

“I mean it’s quick response and obviously that equates to lives,” said Jordan.

The very same system was used during the Apalachee school shooting. Jordan said it no doubt helped to save lives back in September, and with its upcoming introduction to every public school in Georgia, he hopes it will continue to do so.

“It’s the critical thing that’ll help improve safety in schools,” said Jordan.

Public school systems will have until July of 2026 to implement everything mandated in this law. The State plans to fund these projects through a variety of grants.

Georgia ‘super flu’ activity hits ‘extremely high’ levels: When to call 911

Georgia ‘super flu’ activity hits ‘extremely high’ levels: When to call 911


Georgia remains in the “extremely high” flu activity category, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, even as some indicators show signs of leveling off nationwide.

Emergency crews in the Atlanta area say they’re feeling the impact firsthand, with a sharp spike in flu-related 911 calls.

Flu cases in Georgia

What we know:

EMTs and paramedics at American Medical Response in DeKalb County report handling more flu-related calls than usual this season.

“This is one of the most difficult flu seasons that I’ve seen in a long time,” said Israel Contreras, AMR EMS transformation and innovation manager in the South Region.

Contreras said crews in DeKalb are busier than last flu season.

“We had an increase of about 60% of flu-like symptoms, cause, that’s including, you know, whatever range of flu-like symptoms, fevers, headaches,” he said.

The surge in calls in DeKalb reflects broader trends reported by the CDC. In its latest report, the agency estimates at least 15 million people have gotten sick this season, resulting in 180,000 hospitalizations and 7,400 deaths.

While some indicators have decreased or remained stable this week, the CDC cautioned that it is too early to say whether the flu surge has peaked, noting that the holidays may have affected the numbers.

What they’re saying:

In DeKalb County, Contreras said the increase in calls is straining resources.

“We have to be ready for any kind of emergency that’s happening and so when we have an increase of this nature, we get delayed because we tax the hospital. So now we’re delayed at the hospitals,” he said.

Contreras added that many flu-related calls are for non-emergencies that could be treated at home.

He urged residents to call 911 only for life-threatening situations, such as trouble breathing or chest pain, or if symptoms return with a high fever after initially improving.

“I’m not trying to discourage people from calling 911 when they feel like they have an actual life-threatening emergency. I just want people to evaluate whether they actually are having a life-threatening emergency,” he said.

The CDC also attributed the difficult season to a new variant, sometimes called the “super flu.” Doctors are urging everyone to get a flu shot to protect against severe complications and to stay home if they are sick.

Fighting influenza at home

What you can do:

Based on guidance from AMR and public health officials, DeKalb County encourages residents to:

Advertisement

  • Get vaccinated. Annual flu vaccines remain the most effective way to prevent severe illness. Residents at higher risk should also ask their healthcare provider about the pneumococcal vaccine.
  • Practice good hygiene. Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue or your elbow to reduce the spread of airborne viruses.
  • Stay home when sick. Avoid exposing others by remaining home until symptoms improve.

When to call 911 for the flu

AMR advises residents to call 911 or seek emergency medical attention if they experience:

  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  • Chest pain or persistent pressure
  • Sudden dizziness, confusion, or severe weakness
  • Severe or prolonged vomiting
  • Flu symptoms that improve but then return with a high fever or worsening cough

Meet the 30-somethings aiming to remake Georgia’s congressional delegation


Politics

Midterm elections could bring a generational shift to Georgia’s delegation in Washington.

The graying halls of Congress don’t usually evoke images of youthful ambition, but a record number of lawmakers are calling it quits in 2026.

And in Georgia, their replacements may look very different.
