FOCUS: Comment from a recent meeting with Gwinnett’s School Board

By Cathy Loew  |  Let me agree wholeheartedly with Jack Bernard’s Today’s Focus.  Our Gwinnett Schools are a mess and not many people are paying attention. Perhaps people will notice when we lose a bond rating, employers choose not to move to Gwinnett or Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students can’t get into the University of Georgia.

FOCUS: Addressing the question of why there is a teacher shortage

By Alexander Tillman |  For years the public has been warned of an impending teacher shortage.
