Gwinnett school district plans meal delivery on digital days

Gwinnett County Public Schools bus drivers will deliver meals Tuesday and plan to do so on the other five “digital learning days” this school year.

Buses will run their routes, beginning at the first stops, from about 10:45 to noon, according to Communiqué, the district’s newsletter.

Employees of the School Nutrition Program will prepare the breakfasts and lunches. They are free of charge under a federal waiver.
