After Cobb schools initially refused to ID the company that will be using national intelligence tactics to detect school threats, the district confirmed the company is Servius Group -- a private travel security firm for the wealthy, @ThadMoore reported ajc.com/education/secr…

The leader of a secretive company proposing to use student data to detect school threats spoke at the Cobb County school board meeting this month. He wouldn't give his last name or identify his company. Here's who they are: ajc.com/education/cobb…

Our investigation into the state of Atlanta's drinking water valves and the role they played in the May/June water crisis: ajc.com/news/investiga…

New: Atlanta's top water official addressed the city's failure to maintain key components of its drinking water system today in response to our investigation. "It’s unfortunate that we’re here," he said, vowing to fix the problems. ajc.com/news/investiga…

Atlanta’s water crisis took six days to fix in June. A geyser roared in Midtown for days before crews got it under control. What took so long? The parts that should have stopped the flow failed. The city says it didn’t do enough to ensure they’d work. ajc.com/news/investiga…

@bpwatl1 @R_A_Belcher Gotcha, I follow now - I have to say I haven't looked into this myself and I'm not intimately familiar with our coverage of the ports

@thadmoore @R_A_Belcher From my perspective, and perhaps RAB's view, is why isn't the GA Porth Auth pushing automation hard and how would that benefit the state? I get that the ILWU doesn't like automation but that's akin to saying we should stick with buggy whips when the auto is coming

Saw this on Twitter, and it has the source listed. Savannah’s performance lower than the ports in Dar es Salaam and Luanda (and about 360 other ports worldwide). I don’t recall seeing this in ⁦⁦@ajc⁩.

Equipment failures left Atlanta with two choices to stop the geyser in Midtown earlier this year: shut off water as far away as Buckhead, or tell residents to boil their water for days. How years of neglect put the city in a jam: ajc.com/news/investiga…

@R_A_Belcher @bpwatl1 I'm not sure I follow the question, but happy to help if I can

@bpwatl1 @ajc Fair question. Maybe @thadmoore can answer. Seems to me automation is a major cap exp whereas exercising the valves is (sorry, should be) routine maintenance.

@R_A_Belcher Thank you for the kind words!

You may have to deal w/ a paywall. Do it. ⁦@thadmoore⁩ does an outstanding job of documenting yrs of accreted incompetence, laziness & unaccountable ATL govt that produced the water crisis. Does anyone think this will fix it? ajc.com/news/investiga…

Wednesday's shooting at Apalachee High School occurred in neighboring Barrow County. Gray previously lived in Jackson County, and the sheriff's office there briefly investigated him in connection with the threats.

We previously reported that Jackson County, Ga.'s largest school district wasn't told Colt Gray was being investigated for potential school shooting threats in 2023. The sheriff now says the school district Gray attended may not have been notified either. ajc.com/news/police-in…

#BREAKING: More than a year before Colt Gray allegedly shot and killed two teachers and two students at Apalachee High School, local investigators questioned the boy about a disturbing tip they’d received from the FBI. ajc.com/news/local-off…

New: Local police investigated the alleged Georgia school shooter in 2023 for making school shooting threats, but quickly dismissed the risk. An officer told Colt Gray, “I gotta take you at your word, and I hope you’re being honest with me.” W/ @klandergan ajc.com/news/local-off…

Ex-Atlanta CFO Jim Beard is the latest — and perhaps last — high-ranking official from former Mayor Kasim Reed’s administration to be sentenced to federal prison. On the conclusion of the last remaining City Hall corruption case: ajc.com/news/ex-atlant…

Big update in Hampton County, S.C.: The former county administrator has been charged with embezzlement. postandcourier.com/news/former-ha…

After Hampton County got a new administrator last year, she called the sheriff to report things "that just didn’t look right." SLED has been investigating since, the agency has confirmed. Our story: postandcourier.com/news/sled-misc…
