By Faye Edmundson

Parents, students and interested citizens are encouraged to attend the Gwinnett County Board of Education meetings to become better acquainted with the operation and programs of the school system. 

School board meetings are typically held on the third Thursday of each month in the board room at the school system’s Instructional Support Center (ISC), 437 Old Peachtree Road NW, in Suwanee. 

Several dates remain in the board's 2013 meeting schedule: Aug. 15, Sept. 19, Oct. 17, Nov. 21, and Dec. 19. Meeting dates for 2014 will be adopted in January. 

School board meetings open to public

Each month, the board's regular meeting begins at 7 p.m. All meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public. 

The board meeting agenda is prepared in advance of each monthly meeting. Anyone wishing to speak before the board should inform the superintendent’s office in writing by noon on the Monday prior to the board meeting. Requests may be mailed to GCPS, 437 Old Peachtree Road NW, Suwanee, GA 30024 or may be faxed to 678-301-6030.
