As demands for stronger educational environments grow across the state, Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega) is set to lead a discussion at the University of North Georgia. The Georgia State Senate Press Office announces an upcoming roundtable on Wednesday at 9 a.m., aiming to untangle the intricate web of school safety and the mental health of young scholars.
The meeting at the University of North Georgia's Convocation Center in Dahlonega will bring together superintendents, school board chairs, sheriffs, and school safety officials to discuss the current state and future steps for ensuring student security and mental well-being. The gathering will address efforts across Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Pickens, Union, and White counties.
The roundtable will be a key gathering of policy and practice, featuring Commissioners Kevin Tanner and Russel Carlson from DBHDD and DCH, along with Director Chris Stallings from GEMA. The discussion will focus on school safety measures and child and adolescent mental health, areas that require ongoing attention and evolving strategies.
The advisory invites media representatives to confirm attendance by contacting Jantz Womack at [email protected].
