The initiative is part of a statewide plan, launched this fall, to curb rising overdose cases in schools. "This partnership reflects our shared commitment to protecting Georgia's students and ensuring every school is prepared to respond in an emergency," said State School Superintendent Richard Woods.

The effort supports Senate Bill 395, known as "Wesley's Law," which allows schools to obtain and administer opioid antagonists and grants immunity to…...

1+ hour, 30+ min ago (332+ words) Draft Lottery is Tonight. Day 1 of the 2026 Winter Meetings was ice cold in terms of actual moves. However, there were, as expected, plenty of rumors going around in Orlando. For the Braves, there was a bit of news in the minor league signing of reliever James Karinchak. But overall, the biggest news of the day was former Brave Michael Soroka signing a one-year deal with Arizona. However, Tuesday will certainly be of interest to Braves country. This is mainly due to the 2026 MLB Draft Lottery, in which the Braves have the 6th best odds to land the top pick in the draft. Atlanta also has some very good odds to at least land a top 5 pick in the draft, so gaining knowledge of where they will actually pick could give us an idea of some names they could target next year....

A federal judge is set to hear arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by lawyers for Stacey Humphreys, who is scheduled to die on Dec. 17. Humphreys, 52, was convicted of malice murder in the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown at the real estate office where they worked in a suburb of Atlanta. After Georgia put executions on hold during the pandemic, the state attorney general's office entered into an agreement with lawyers for people on death row to set the terms under which they could resume. The state Supreme Court has…...

1+ hour, 38+ min ago (310+ words) It has been a few weeks since we've seen Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London on the football field. London suffered a PCL injury'in his knee in Week 11 and hasn't played since. London hasn't practiced, either, and sat out all of last week. After missing three straight games, will the Falcons get London back in Week 15 for the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night? We can't say for sure as of this writing, but our guess is London has a better chance to sit out than not. On Monday, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris continued to label London as day to day, but London also did not take part in practice on the team's estimated injury report. "Drake is still day-to-day," Morris said to reporters. If you want a glass-half-full outlook for London, the Falcons did not…...

Gov. Burt Jones to raise unlimited contributions. Safe Affordable Georgia filed suit Monday in federal court in Atlanta asking a judge to rule that the political action committee chaired by Raffensberger can coordinate with his gubernatorial campaign in the same way that Jones' leadership committee can. "This filing simply asks the court to ensure fairness so that our committee has the same ability to communicate with voters as others already do," Raffensperger said in a statement. "Equal access to speech isn't political or complicated " it's a foundational American principle that must be upheld." Jones spokesperson Kayla Lott didn't comment on the substance of the lawsuit, only saying it…...

1+ hour, 43+ min ago (427+ words) The Atlanta Falcons are losers of seven of their last eight, but Week 14's loss all but confirmed Raheem Morris won't be returning next season. The Falcons entered halftime tied with the Seattle Seahawks, but a mammoth second half collapse exposed just how defeated Atlanta's locker room is. It wasn't one play or one possession that made a difference, it was a series of plays that put the nail in the coffin. Whether it was the long kick return touchdown, both Kirk Cousins' interceptions, or Sam Darnold picking Jeff Ulbrich's defense apart, it's now clear who needs to replace Morris at the helm. While the Dirty Birds had to witness a coaching disasterclass from Morris once again, the other sideline witnessed a coaching masterclass from Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. He's become one of the most popular candidates this cycle,…...
