On Friday’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, in an era of inflation, the back-to-school essentials can be even more costly. With the school year starting in less than a month in DeKalb County, we speak with Stonecrest Mayor Jazzmin Cobble about how her city is preparing and equipping students. We also discuss the state of infrastructure and economic development in Stonecrest. 




Then, the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Technology Center at Georgia Tech is saving the lives of children with tracheomalacia. The research collaboration led to the development of a 3D-printed tracheal splint airway support device. Hear from Pediatric Otolaryngologist Dr. Steven Goudy about their groundbreaking innovation and learn about a little girl, named Justice – one of the four young lives they’ve saved so far.
