Here are the top three stories in Duluth today:

1. Gwinnett County legislators will hold a virtual public meeting on Wednesday this week to hear updates on county elections and efforts to battle homelessness. The Zoom event is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday to hear presentations from Gwinnett Elections Supervisor Zach Manifold and HomeFirst Gwinnett Executive Director Matthew Elder.

2. Just two days after Gwinnett County Schools asked for parents' feedback on how to handle the pandemic going forward, the district has received more than 24,000 responses. Governor Brian Kemp is reportedly weighing possible legislation to allow parents to decide whether students wear masks, which prompted the school district to seek parents' feedback. As of Monday morning, the top-rated responses suggest students and staff should stay home if they have a fever, and schools should work with parents to make sure sick kids aren't sent to school while also doing what it takes to keep learning in person.
