Here are the top three stories today in Johns Creek:

1. The Innovation Academy is undergoing repairs. Officials with Fulton County Schools say that the ongoing work on the Innovation Academy is routine construction work and poses no threat. Updates include waterproofing and improvements to other deficiencies. The construction work is being done at the cost of the contractor who originally constructed the building. (Appen Media)
