State Senator Emanuel Jones will be hosting a town hall Meeting on
January 30, 2010 at 10:00 am at the Fairview Library. During this
meeting, Senator Jones plans to discuss his proposed changes to the
zero-tolerance discipline policy practiced in Georgia's school
system: Senate Bill 299 represents "common sense legislation to limit
the abuse of zero-tolerance discipline policies by requiring judges to
conduct a hearing before sending a student to jail and [by]
encouraging greater discretion at the school level." Other local
officials will also be available to discuss local issues and the
implications of Senator Jones' proposed changes.
