This fall, the Gwinnett County Board of Education will go on the road, meeting once in each Board member’s district. This year’s Area Board Meetings will be more of a community conversation. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Gwinnett County Public Schools’ new superintendent, Dr. Calvin J. Watts, and members of the Gwinnett County Board of Education. During the meeting, Dr. Watts will share information about the new school year and his focus as he begins leading Georgia’s largest school district. In addition, meeting participants will learn more about the district’s work to engage the community and will be able to provide input on topics that are of interest to them.
