Hall County schools and the sheriff's office have launched a camera program on fifty buses to deter vehicles from illegally passing stopped buses during student pickups.
Drivers face an eight week warning before fines up to $1,000 are issued (Georgia law).
Four Lanier Technical College students earned gold and silver medals at a recent SkillsUSA Nationals in Atlanta.
They competed at the Georgia World Congress Center with peers from across the country to show in-demand skills in healthcare + technical education.
