STORY 1: Lanier High School Bus Driver Arrested and Accused of 'Inappropriate Contact' with Students
A former Lanier High School bus driver resigned and was arrested following allegations of "inappropriate contact" with students on the bus. The incident was reported to Gwinnett County Public Schools on Oct. 17, leading to the immediate removal of the driver, who resigned on Oct. 20. The case has been referred to GCPS police and the Human Resources Department. The school reassured parents that a substitute driver has taken over, emphasizing student safety. The specific charges against the driver have not been disclosed as the case is under open criminal investigation.
STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College Nursing Program Reaccredited
Georgia Gwinnett College's baccalaureate degree program in nursing has received re-accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The accreditation, based on CCNE's 2018 Standards for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs, is valid for 10 years. The achievement reflects the program's consistent high quality and the dedication of faculty, staff, and students. The nursing program, known for its selectivity, will surpass 400 graduates at the upcoming commencement ceremony, with a strong record of over 90% first-time pass rates on the NCLEX professional licensing exam. The spring 2023 graduating class achieved a 100% first-time pass rate.
STORY 3: Tananarive Due — Author of 'The Reformatory' — to Speak Thursday at Snellville Library Branch
Author Tananarive Due, set to speak at the Gwinnett County Public Library, discusses her latest book "The Reformatory" and her diverse projects. Having ventured into Hollywood, Due served as an executive producer for the documentary "Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror" and earned her first TV credit for an episode of "The Twilight Zone." She's also working on an adaptation for a pilot based on one of her novels and overseeing the filming of "The Reformatory." Due appreciates the collaborative nature of Hollywood, contrasting it with the solitude of novel writing, and looks forward to engaging with readers during her book tour.

STORY 4: Genetic testing can identify patients with family history of high cholesterol
Genetic testing can identify familial hypercholesteremia (FH), an inherited condition affecting around 1 in 250 people, often without visible signs until a heart attack occurs. Research from the HerediGene: Population Study, part of a large DNA mapping initiative, suggests that genetic screening can identify individuals with FH, making them candidates for targeted treatment to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and death. The study highlights the importance of genetic testing for individuals with unexplained high cholesterol, enabling aggressive treatment and reducing the risk of major heart events. Early intervention through medication can enhance the quality of life and save lives.
STORY 5: 2 ways to get a ‘do-over’ on Social Security
You can get a "do-over" on your Social Security benefits in certain circumstances, allowing you to secure a higher monthly benefit. If you filed for benefits before full retirement age and are not yet 70, you can suspend your benefits, earning delayed retirement credits of up to 8% annually. Alternatively, if you started receiving benefits less than 12 months ago, you can withdraw your benefits and refile later, increasing your potential benefit. It's essential to understand the differences between suspension and withdrawal, including when you can file and the repayment of benefits. Consultation with a retirement advisor is recommended due to Social Security's complexities.
