Gwinnett superintendent to serve on federal education committee

Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks has been selected to serve on a federal committee that will determine how some parts of a new education law will be implemented.

Wilbanks will be on the 24-member negotiated rulemaking committee, which will draft regulations for how federal funds will supplement state and local funds in high-need schools and for assessments, Gwinnett officials said.

Gwinnett officials announced last week that Wilbanks was part of the committee.
