State leaders urge adults, schools to watch youth mental health

By Rebekah Yearout The Germantown News  In a joint video statement issued this week, Gov. Bill Haslam, Tennessee Education Commissioner Candice McQueen and Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Commissioner Marie Williams urged adults and schools to stay vigilant of children’s mental health.  While May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, May 4 is specifically set aside as National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. Haslam said kids today face lots of issues that can affect their mental health, ranging from domestic violence to bullying.

OPINION: For Sunshine Laws to work, BMA should vote to record all sessions

During last week’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting, I was glad to see the vote was unanimous in favor of taking up a discussion at the May 8 meeting to vote on recording BMA executive sessions.  As one person pointed out during the public comments portion of the meeting, it is hard to hear what’s being discussed at the executive sessions because not everyone has an individual microphone, and there’s no way for the public to review what was said. Although I understand why Alderman Owens said he supported recording the sessions, but hesitated to pile more work on the city clerk in terms of producing more minutes, I do think the city should, at some point, keep minutes from the sessions. They only last 30 minutes—unlike the regular meetings, they are limited time-wise.  See the complete op/ed by editor Rebekah Yearout in the May 3 edition of the Germantown News, out today.
