Here are the top three stories today in Duluth:

1. In a move shocking to many, Gwinnett school board member Everton Blair suddenly suspended his campaign for Georgia's state school superintendent. Blair was planning to run for the Democratic Party nomination but announced on Friday that the personal and financial sacrifice has made him want to put his energy toward supporting other candidates.

2. Duluth is in for a cloudy, rainy pre-spring week. Expect low temps in the 50s and highs in the 60s tomorrow through Thursday. Tomorrow and Wednesday's forecasts call for a high chance of rain. (Duluth Patch)
3. If you're looking for a college with manufacturer-specific automotive programs, Gwinnett Tech might just be the right choice. The program is unique to this school within the state of Georgia. There are certificate, diploma, and degree programs available. (Gwinnettdailypost.com)
