Newton County expands mental-health resources, podcast and back-to-school events
Summary
Officials said the district is increasing mental-health supports, launching a Parent Connect podcast and hosting open-house events; a sheriff's office backpack giveaway will occur July 25 at Newton High School.
The Presenter said Newton County Schools is investing in student mental-health and wellness by expanding resources and placing informational posters in every school building to guide students and families to help.
