From Gwinnett County Public Schools:

This summer, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is accepting applications from parents and community members, as well as GCPS employees, who are interested in being part of the district’s committee which provides input on the school system’s curriculum.

Individuals are invited to apply to become members of the school system’s GEMS Oversight Committee. The application deadline is Monday, September 16, 2013.

The GEMS Oversight Committee is a group of community and school system representatives charged with the annual review of the district’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum. The next review meeting is scheduled for February 27, 2014. After the review, the committee recommends revisions and additions to CEO/Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks for adoption by the Gwinnett County Board of Education. Committee members serve three-year terms.

Completed applications should be returned by September 16 to the attention of Dr. Galey Hey, associate superintendent for Teaching and Learning, at the Instructional Support Center, 437 Old Peachtree Rd., NW, Suwanee, 30024.
