Gwinnett school leaders seek community input on superintendent search
Gwinnett County parents and community leaders will have an opportunity Wednesday evening to provide input about the school district’s search for its next superintendent.
School board vice chair Tarece Morgan-Johnson is hosting a community engagement meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Meadowcreek High School, 4455 Steve Reynolds Blvd. in Norcross.
The school board, in a 3-2 vote in late January, decided to let go Superintendent Calvin Watts with more than one year remaining on his contract. Chief of Schools Al Taylor is the interim superintendent. Gwinnett is Georgia’s largest school district.
The board plans to begin early interviews with candidates in November and December. The board hopes to hire a new superintendent by April.
