Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Carol Hunstein called for legislative reform of the juvenile justice system, which she referred to as costly and ineffective, during her State of the Judiciary address. The judge also remarked: "When did we start believing that a sixth grader should be suspended because she brought a Tweety Bird wallet to school, that was attached to a 10-inch chain?"
The AJC reports that DeKalb County Schools has reached a "mutual understanding of separation" with Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson. Under the terms, Atkinson would receive more than $114,000 for leaving, plus payment for her unused vacation days. More details to come this afternoon.
Ethics reform continues to be a work in progress down under the Gold Dome.
