Suwanee residents wanting to give the Gwinnett County school board input about the pending redistricting or the revenue shortfall soon will have some face time with their leaders.
The Gwinnett school board members will be holding a series of public meetings starting later this month. Suwanee's three school clusters -- North Gwinnett, Collins Hill and Peachtree Ridge -- are in District II. The Peachtree Ridge cluster is being affected by a redistricting planned for the 2011-12 school year. Daniel Seckinger is the board member representing this district.
Also, the school board is completing its budget for the 2011-12 school year, and it is facing an $85 million shortfall.
