Gwinnett County School Board

The Gwinnett County Board of Education governs one of the largest school systems in the United States. Five members elected by district set curriculum, budgets, school safety, and parents'-rights policy. Board races have become ground zero for debates over race, gender, and academic content.

The Superintendent is the district's chief executive, appointed by the Board to run day-to-day operations across more than 140 schools. WorthFighting.org tracks the Superintendent's decisions, hires, budget requests, and public statements.

What Gwinnett students are taught — standards, textbooks, lessons, and academic content — drives the county's biggest controversies. We follow curriculum adoptions, state standards, and classroom materials.

Parents' rights, transparency, opt-out, and family authority over education are central to conservative reform in Gwinnett. We cover board action on parental notification, opt-out, and records access.

Book challenges and library reviews have drawn national attention to Gwinnett. We report on contested materials, the challenge process, review committees, and board decisions on removals.

School safety, security, resource officers, lockdowns, and campus threats shape every parent's decision. We track SRO staffing, safety plans, and incident response across Gwinnett schools.

Gwinnett's school budget tops two billion dollars. We report on budgets, millage, ES-SPLOST, spending, deficits, and how every dollar is allocated and audited.

Teacher pay, staffing, evaluations, and workforce shortages affect every classroom. We cover GAE and GAGAE activity, salary schedules, recruitment, retention, and evaluation policy.

Georgia Milestones, test scores, assessments, and accountability ratings show how Gwinnett schools perform. We publish results and what they mean for students and parents.

Board meetings, work sessions, called meetings, agendas, minutes, and public hearings are where policy is made. We cover every regular and called meeting of the Gwinnett Board of Education.

Board policies, codes of conduct, discipline, Title IX, cell phone rules, and district rules govern student life. We track policy adoptions and the debates behind them.

Georgia General Assembly legislation, mandates, and state law shape what Gwinnett schools can and must do. We follow every bill, mandate, and act affecting the district.
