BACK TO SCHOOL COVERAGE. NOW THERE WILL BE MANY CHALLENGES. STUDENTS FACE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IT’S KIND OF TOUGH TO NAVIGATE, ESPECIALLY AS A KID OR A TEENAGER, BUT NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT HOW TO MANAGE STRESS. NEWS EIGHT’S JACK REYES JOINS US LIVE FROM YORK WITH ADVICE FROM PEDIATRICIANS JAKE MATT REGINA GOOD MORNING. YEAH, PEDIATRICIANS SAY SOME COMMON CAUSES FOR STRESS IN STUDENTS ARE GRADES, FRIENDSHIPS AND AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. NOW, BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS, PEDIATRICIANS SAY IT’S IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO MANAGE THEIR TIME FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. NOW, WELLSPAN HEALTH SAYS IT’S IMPORTANT FOR TO MANAGE A GOOD SLEEP SCHEDULE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. THE ORGANIZATION SAYS STUDENTS WHO DON’T SLEEP ON WEEKDAYS AND SLEEP EXCESSIVELY ON WEEKENDS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. ANOTHER TIP FROM WELLSPAN IS TO FOCUS MORE ON LONG TERM RATHER THAN SHORT TERM IMPACTS. IN THE SHORT RUN, IT’S EASY TO WORRY ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS. A GRADE ON A TEST, AND EVEN NOT MAKING THE VARSITY TEAM. BUT UNDERSTAND THESE ARE SHORT TERM ISSUES. ALTHOUGH YOU SHOULD LOOK TO IMPROVE, THESE ISSUES WILL NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON THE LIFE AHEAD OF YOU. WELLSPAN SAYS IT’S NORMAL TO HAVE ANXIETY, BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. THIS IS PART OF GROWING UP. THIS IS PART OF A PASSAGE OF TIME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH, AND AT THE END ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU WILL FEEL STRONGER BECAUSE OF IT. AND. PEDIATRICIANS SAY USING DESIRES FOR SUCCESS TO BUILD LIFE SKILLS. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING SO MUCH ON SHORT TERM ASPECTS, CAN HELP ALLEVIATE STRESS. YOU CAN ALSO FIND MORE OF WELLSPAN MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND RESOURCES ONLINE AT WELLSPAN.ORG. AND ALSO FRIENDS ARE A GREAT WAY TO BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM AROUND YOU. PEDIATRICIANS AT WELLSPAN HEALTH SAYS GREAT FRIENDSHIPS CAN BE FOUND IN AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES OR CLUBS WHERE STUDENTS CAN FIND LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. MATT REGINA IMPORTANT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT. AND JAKE, YOU MENTIONED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHORT TERM ISSUES AND LONG TERM ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO STRESS. HOW CAN PARENTS BE ENGAGED IN THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR KID? YEAH, WELL, MATT, IT’S EASY FOR PARENTS TO BE CONCERNED WITH, LET’S SAY, A BAD GRADE, FOR EXAMPLE, BUT RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT BAD. GRADE, PARENTS SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON THE CAUSES OF IT. AND THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS IMPROVE. SO AGAIN, THIS IS MORE LOOKING TOWARDS THAT LONG TERM IMPACT AND LOOKING AHEAD TO THAT NEXT TEST RATHER THAN THE SHORT TERM CONSEQUENCES THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH. SOMETHING THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN BE ENGAGED WITH. THANKS, JAKE FOR THAT. IT IS 606 NOW, AND IT’S STILL NOT CLEAR WHEN CLASSES WILL RESUME AT A GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL. THAT WAS THE SCENE OF A DEADLY MASS SHOOTING LAST WEEK. THE PRINCIPAL AT APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA, SENT A LETTER TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS YESTERDAY SAYING THAT SCHOOL LEADERS ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NEXT STEPS. STARTING THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH, STUDENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET THEIR BOOKS, BAGS OR OTHER THINGS THEY LEFT BEHIND THAT WOULD BE THEIR FIRST TIME BACK IN THE BUILDING SINCE TWO STUDENTS AND TWO TEACHERS WERE SHOT AND KILLED LAST WEDNESDAY. NINE OTHER VICTIMS WERE ALSO HURT. A 14 YEAR OLD FACING MURDER CHARGES FOR THE SHOOTING AND THE SUSPECT’S FATHER ALSO FACING INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AFTER PROSECUTORS SAY HE GAVE HIS SON THE GUN THAT WAS USED IN THE SHOOTING. RIGHT NOW IN KENTUCKY, POLICE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO REMAIN VIGILANT AS THEY LOOK FOR A MASS SHOOTING SUSPECT WHO IS ON THE RUN. OFFICERS SAY THEY’RE LOOKING FOR 32 YEAR OLD JOSEPH COUCH AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY SHOT FIVE PEOPLE ON SATURDAY ALONG A HIGHWAY IN LAUREL COUNTY. POLICE SAY HE SHOT INTO NINE VEHICLES THAT WERE TRAVELING ALONG THAT HIGHWAY. ALL THE VICTIMS ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER. OFFICERS SAY THEY HAVE FOUND THE SUSPECTS VEHICLE AND THE ASSAULT RIFLE THEY BELIEVE HE USED IN THAT SHOOTING. STILL, THEY’RE CONSIDERING HIM ARMED AND DANGEROUS AS THIS CONTINUES, IT BECOMES MORE STRESSFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT BECOMES MORE STRESSFUL FOR THE OFFICERS THAT ARE THERE BECAUSE WE’RE LOOKING. WE’RE LOOKING AND AND WE’RE TRYING TO FIND HIM. AND AND WE HAVEN’T FOUND HIM. AND AND IT’S JUST STRESSFUL FOR EVERYBODY. MOTIVE INTO THE SHOOTING IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. AFTER A MONTH AWAY FROM THE JOB, LAWMAKERS FROM THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE WILL BE BACK TO WORK TODAY. THEY’LL BE BACK FROM THEIR SUMMER RECESS, AND THEY’RE STARING DOWN A DEADLINE FOR A FEDERAL BUDGET OR RISK A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. NEWS EIGHT’S AMY LU IS IN OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU WITH HOW LONG LAWMAKERS HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. LAWMAKERS HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH IN ORDER TO APPROVE A BUDGET. BUT EARLY SIGNS ARE SUGGESTING THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO DO. THREE WEEKS AND COUNTING LAWMAKERS ARE FACING A FAMILIAR ISSUE HOW TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO HAVE THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN AT A TIME WHEN THEY’RE RUNNING SO, SO DEEPLY FOR REELECTION. A CR OR CONTINUING RESOLUTION IS THE LIKELY TEMPORARY SOLUTION, POTENTIALLY PUNTING THE FUNDING DEADLINE TO NEXT YEAR BY SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON. TIME TO FORMULATE A FUNDING STRATEGY IN THE HOUSE. BUT REPUBLICANS ARE DEMANDING MORE PASSAGE OF THE SAFEGUARD. AMERICAN VOTER ELIGIBILITY OR SAVE ACT. WHAT THIS IS, IS MOSTLY A MESSAGING ISSUE. LEGISLATION REQUIRING PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO VOTE. HE KNOWS THAT IT’S GOING TO BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE SENATE. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET TO 60 VOTES TO MOVE THAT FORWARD. REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING UNFOUNDED CLAIMS THAT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS COULD VOTE IN FEDERAL RACES IN NOVEMBER’S ELECTION. THEY WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO STEAL EVERYBODY’S VOTE. AND IF THE DEMOCRATS HAVE THEIR WAY, AMERICAN CITIZENS AREN’T GOING TO HAVE A STAKE IN THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY. THE BILL EFFECTIVELY OUTLAWING SOMETHING THAT’S ALREADY ILLEGAL. AND ACCORDING TO ELECTION OFFICIALS, NOT A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. WE STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS REPUBLICAN. STUNT. SO WE WANT TO SEE A CLEAN CR. REPUBLICANS FAVOR A SIX MONTH CR HOPING THAT THEY’LL HAVE CONTROL OF CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE. WHEN THAT BUDGET EXTENSION EXPIRES ON CAPITOL HILL. I’M AMY LOU. THANKS, AMY. COMMITMENT 2024 COVERAGE. THIS MORNING AS BOTH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS GEARING UP FOR TOMORROW’S DEBATE IN PHILADELPHIA. YOU CAN SEE VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS MEETING WITH VOTERS ON SATURDAY DURING HER WEEKEND STAY IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS IN WISCONSIN THIS WEEKEND CAMPAIGNING AHEAD OF THE DEBATE IN YORK COUNTY. A VOTE IS HAPPENING TODAY TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A COMMUNITY SHOULD MOVE FROM VOTING WARDS TO AT LARGE VOTING RIGHTS BILL IS CONSIDERING THE CHANGE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW RESIDENTS TO VOTE FOR ANYONE RUNNING IN A BOROUGH COUNCIL ELECTION NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO REPRESENTS THEIR WARD. IF APPROVED, IT WOULD BE PUT IN PLACE FOR NEXT YEAR’S MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE. TODAY’S MEETING HAS BEEN MOVED
