Gwinnett County Board of Education
The Gwinnett County Board of Education is composed of five citizens elected by voters in five geographic areas of the county to govern the public school system. Those schools serving Suwanee residents are located within District II (the North Gwinnett cluster) and are represented by Dan Seckinger, who joined the board in January 1995. He is owner/president of Bartimaeus, Inc., a building specialties commercial contractor. His current term expires in December 2002.
Board meetings generally are held at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month (except in April and June). Meetings take place at the school system’s Lawrenceville East facility at 723 Hi-Hope Road. Citizens wishing to address the board should inform the superintendent's office in writing by noon on the Monday preceding a meeting. A public forum for individuals not on the agenda is held from 6:30-7 p.m.
