ATLANTA -- Walter Banks is the Atlanta Braves longest running usher and historian. Both, current and former players, make it a point to greet Walter before games and during practices.

However, in addition to Walter witnessing almost every game since 1965, he is pretty knowledgeable about everything dealing with sports, period. If you tell Walter a number he's usually able to rattle off all of the information related to sports and that number.

Walter is a gem of the organization and even has a suite named after himself. Meet Walter Banks, an unconventional historian.

Charter schools receive crucial approval

ATLANTA -- Thursday morning, the Georgia State School board voted to approve a change that will keep a pair of Georgia charter schools open.

With the vote, the Odyssey School and Georgia Cyber Academy have now combined to become one school and are officially a state special charter school.

This takes them out of the limbo status that occurred when the state Supreme Court ruled a Charter Schools Commission law unconstitutional.

Other schools affected by the rulilng must also get either approval on the local level or seek the same state special school status.

In the meantime, established charter schools worry about their status as some return to their local school districts for approval.
