Kennesaw State University has a strong
message to students after police
arrested two people in connection
with an alleged racial attack.
Police say that 2 white men jumped KSU
student Jalek Rosemond, who is black.
It happened just over a week ago.
Surveillance cameras caught the beating
that sent Roseman to the hospital,
the university's president saying in part,
an attack on one is an attack on
the school's very principals.
She also says important conversations.
Will be held for KSU students
following the incident,

and private schools to require
training programs to help staff
identify and deter gang violence.
Teachers would have the choice to opt out.
The proposed bill also wants

And that was a look
at your top headline on a
rainy day, Chesley. Very
rainy, yes, and light,
for the most part, this morning at least.
But it will start to pick up as
we head toward the afternoon.
We're looking at about an inch.
Maybe in 1/2 of rainfall for today
when it's all said and done,
but will not be done until tomorrow morning,
probably in the wee hours of the morning,
right. Look at this.
Rain drops all day long starts to
intensify as we head into the afternoon.
We'll be on the cool side today,
cooler than we were just yesterday.
We were in the upper 50s today,
only around 53 degrees for
your forecast high.
You can imagine that with
the rain that's around,
but those temperatures are warm
enough that we're not going to
be able to support that ice that
you see up here to the north.
That's where it's going to stay.
Parts of Tennessee, in fact,
all the way up into Nashville.
You have to ice that's taking place there.
So travel, travel will be a bit stifled,
especially if you're heading that way,
especially over toward Dallas anywhere,
Dallas, Memphis, Nashville,
going up into West Virginia,
you'll be dealing with snow and ice there.
Notice the stationary boundary
down to the South of us.
You get little waves or areas of
low pressure that ride along that,
and that's helping to keep the moisture
over us again in the form of rain or liquid.
And it will be around all day long today,
good chance for it all day.
It will last until tomorrow morning.
We'll have a 20% chance in the wee hours
of the morning by the time you wake up,
I think.
The wet weather will be over.
We'll keep the clouds in place
until about 9:00 o'clock and then
after that much of the day will
be spent in the sunshine.
Here's how it all plays out.
Forecast track model shows the
scattered precipitation around
at least through about noon.
Once we get toward 2 three
o'clock it starts to intensify,
becoming more widespread.
The yellow on here indicates
where we have the moderate to
heavy rain that will be around,
not looking at much in the way of
any Thunder at all, just that rain.
It will be a nuisance.
Wind up being a nuisance because
it's an all day long rainforest.
Tomorrow morning here we are about five.
You notice the rain.
Thinking a little bit further
down to the South,
the clouds will follow suit.
And so we'll have sunshine around
for the rest of the afternoon.
With the clear skies and
light winds Friday night,
it will allow the temperatures
to fall off into the 20s.
That's where we'll start
off Saturday morning,
by the afternoon sunshine
looking pretty good.
It will be cooler on Saturday,
only about 48 degrees for a high,
but we'll rebound nicely on Sunday
55 and then back into the 60s as
we start the work week next week.
New details this morning
on a story we've been following for
months involving DeKalb County schools.
The district has now approved hundreds
of millions of dollars to try to fix.
Dilapitated school buildings.
Molly Oak walks us through the
districts plan to not only fix
but also build new schools.
And the money approval will go
towards several different projects
throughout the school district.
Take a look at your screen so we
can break it all down for you.
In the approved plan,
$352,000,000 will be set aside to construct
a new Sequoia high school and middle school,
a new Dresden elementary school,
and a new Cross Keys middle school.
The funds will also be used to
modernize Druid Hills High School,
which is something we've been telling
you about after students made a
video showing alleged mold,
plumbing, electrical,
and flooding issues inside the school.
The plan also includes $80
million for security projects,
including new cameras and vestibules,
69 million for additional facility
condition projects at various schools,
and 129 million for updated equipment,
which includes new buses
and vehicle upgrades.
Now, the whole plan will take
several years to complete,
so over the next few months,
first step is finding an architect.
Start working on those new schools.
Back to you, all
happening later this morning in Newton
County, a FEMA disaster recovery.
Center will be opening to provide some much
needed help after storms and tornadoes
destroyed homes and businesses last month.
The Disaster Recovery Center is
going to be located at the Bert
Adams Scout camp in Covington.
Right now you can apply to get FEMA funds
to help out with some rent assistance,
home repairs, and lodging reimbursements.
But keep in mind if FEMA sends
you a letter saying that you are
ineligible for assistance,
you can appeal that decision.
All you need to do send in a written
request to FEMA to review your file again.
You can also include some new or.
Additional information that you didn't put
in before that could impact this decision.
The next time,
explain why you disagree with that decision.
Make sure to sign it.
Get it in within 60 days of
the date on the determination.

4685-A Grammy tribute for a rap music icon.
Metro Atlanta native takeoff is going to
be honored at the award show on Sunday.
Quavo is going to take the stage
with Maverick City Music choir to
honor his nephew. Take off was one.
Third of the group Migos.
He was shot and killed in
Houston three months ago.
Police believe he was an innocent
bystander after an argument ended in
gunfire outside of a bowling alley.
Take a look, folks.
We got temperatures by noon in the 50s,
right near 50 degrees.
We will have some showers
around the area by 3:00 o'clock.
We're looking at that rain
starting to intensify a bit.
We'll be coming down heavy to
moderate and that will last even
as you're driving home as well.
So look forward to it to
be a very wet day for us.
With temperatures remaining in the 50s.
I think that rain will last
through tomorrow morning and
then by the afternoon we'll
get the sunshine back in here.
Georgia's own Georgia Groundhog,
General Beauregard Lee,
is going to make his prediction in
front of the big crowd at Jackson.
And 7:30 so as the legend goes,
if he sees his shadow,
retreats to the borough,
cold weather will persist into March.
If he doesn't see the shadow,
spring will begin.
Last year he didn't see a shadow,
and it's rainy today.
So if I'm going with no shadow,
no shadow, no shadow.
That's a good plan.
Alright everybody have a great day.
We'll hand it off to the Today show.
See you back here tomorrow morning.
