Following a tragic school shooting that claimed the lives of four individuals at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, state House Speaker announced plans to introduce new policies aimed at enhancing student mental health, detecting guns, and promoting safe gun storage.
The proposed measures include information sharing among law enforcement, schools, and mental health workers to prevent similar incidents. Additionally, there are plans to expand mental health care services for students through the state's voluntary Apex program, which currently covers about 31% of Georgia's student population.
