STORY 1: Marietta Legislator's DUI Case Delayed, Again
The DUI case against state Rep. Devan Seabaugh has been postponed for the fourth time, with a new pre-trial hearing set for November 22. Seabaugh, who was absent from the recent hearing, faces seven charges, including DUI, following an August incident where he allegedly hit a cyclist. His attorney requested the delay to gather more evidence. Seabaugh denies being intoxicated, claiming he was unaware of the bike lane due to inadequate signage. The cyclist involved suffered minor injuries and was unsure if he was struck by Seabaugh's vehicle.
STORY 2: Marietta Super Proposes Weapons Detectors For Schools
Marietta City Schools plans to implement weapons detectors in grades six through 12 following recent incidents involving firearms. Superintendent Grant Rivera proposed using pass-through detectors and AI weapons detection integrated with existing cameras. The initiative aims to enhance safety without disrupting school routines. The district is interviewing vendors and plans to operationalize the system soon. Additionally, the district will hire a second school resource officer and transition part-time officers to full-time roles. Safety measures include secured access, visitor screening, and an emergency alert app, with ongoing community engagement to ensure effective implementation.
STORY 3: Cobb Commission Special Election Set for April
A special election for two Cobb County Board of Commissioners seats is set for April 29, following a court ruling that invalidated previous elections due to an unconstitutional "home rule" map. The election will fill District 2 and District 4 seats, with candidates like Alicia Adams and Jaha Howard running for District 2. Incumbent Monique Sheffield will run for District 4. Voters in these districts, as defined by the 2022 state map, are eligible to vote. Qualifying runs from December 18-20, with primaries on February 11 and early voting starting January 21. The general election early voting begins April 7.

STORY 4: Marietta School Board Extends Super's Contract With Raise
The Marietta Board of Education has extended Superintendent Grant Rivera's contract through 2027, with a unanimous vote. Rivera's base salary will increase to $269,742, with a total compensation package of $450,629, plus a $10,000 annual bonus. The board has consistently extended his contract since he began in 2017, aligning with Georgia's three-year limit on superintendent contracts. Board Chair Jeff DeJarnett praised Rivera for his efforts in improving district literacy rates, noting the progress as a model for the state.
STORY 5: KSU and Wellstar Double Nursing Student Enrollment
Kennesaw State University (KSU) and Wellstar Health System have doubled the enrollment at KSU's Wellstar School of Nursing over the past four years to address Georgia's nursing shortage. With a $9 million commitment from Wellstar, KSU increased its nursing enrollment from 512 in 2019-20 to 1,155 in 2023-24, hired 32 new faculty, and expanded course offerings. This partnership enhances educational opportunities and supports Georgia's healthcare needs. Wellstar also provides scholarships and tuition reimbursement, further aiding students. The collaboration, which includes Wellstar's $25 million commitment for future projects, aims to bolster healthcare and athletic programs at KSU.
