GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Officials with Gwinnett County Public Schools are responding after three students overdosed on school property. All three cases happened during the school year at Berkmar High School.


School officials say this is an issue they have not dealt with before but are tackling head-on.

"Two months ago was the first time I've ever seen an overdose in my 26 years in this profession," said Durrant Williams, the principal of Berkmar High School.

Williams says the three separate incidents involved female students who were around the same grade level.

"We do know that there was a connection of some sort," he said. "They were maybe not best friends, but they were in the same circle."

Officials with the district say months ago they started exploring the option of introducing Narcan training to some of its staff. The nasal spray is a drug that can reverse overdose on opioids like heroin, fentanyl, and oxycodone.

I know it ain't about Atlanta specifically, but I imagine most of the data came from Atlanta workers. Never thought I'd see the day.

ATLANTA, Ga. — Georgia has come in at #1 in a rather undesirable contest: Employees in the Peach State are the unhappiest of any employees in the country, according to new research.

SelectSoftware Reviews conducted a nationwide survey evaluating each state based on wages, quit rates, commute times, working hours, injuries, paid time off and state positivity levels.

Georgia came in at dead last for happiness on the job, scoring just 29.62 on the survey, as opposed to the happiest state, which scored 69.96.

According to the survey, Georgia had the highest quit rate, ranked generally poorly for happiness across the state and deals with -- you guessed it-- hefty commute times.

To the surprise of no one, the average Georgia worker spends 28.7 minutes in the car to get to work.

TRENDING STORIES:
Alaska came in first in part due to shorter work weeks at 31.3 hours and an average wage of $52,000. Massachusetts boasts the highest average wage of any state at $58,450. And believe it or not, New York had the longest commute of any state on the list, at an average of 33.5 minutes.

“Although many people might assume that a job is the same wherever you are, these results demonstrate the considerable impact a location can have on how workers feel about their job, whether that is due to state laws, commute times, or wages. It emphasizes the importance for employers to create environments where employees find genuine fulfillment and can thrive,” the company wrote.
