Hello again, Duluth! Important update: You all, as readers, have made the Duluth Daily so successful that it is my honor to announce the next stage of the newsletter. Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Duluth Daily. Although I have loved getting to know this community, we want to pass the torch to someone truly local to write about Duluth long term. So if you're interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.
First, today's weather:
Some clouds, then sunshine. High: 74 Low: 47.
Here are the top three stories in Duluth today:
- Gwinnett County Public Schools are expected to see the highest-ever enrollment in August this year, with nearly 183,000 students. This comes after a halt in the increase of students during the pandemic. Gwinnett County Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Joe Heffron projects the student population will increase by 3,284 students, bringing the district's total enrollment to 182,865. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
- Gwinnett County Clerk of Court has opened a passport office, so Gwinnett County residents can now apply for passports in town. Clerk of Court Tiana Garner's office is located in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville, about 25 minutes outside Duluth. Passport services are available at windows No. 1 and 2 in the lobby, and passport photos are available for a fee. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
- Bob Malone, "The Keyboard Wizard," is coming to Duluth in April. Malone, who has been in the music business for over 25 years, will play at The Red Clay Music Foundry on Sunday, April 3. (Patch)
