GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Prompted by "multiple complaints" — including at least one about the school board — the agency responsible for accrediting Gwinnett County's public schools will conduct a special review later this month.
The review is scheduled for June 13-16, said Mariama Tyler, spokesperson for accreditation agency Cognia. It will be conducted virtually, Tyler said, with "a thorough review of evidence" and interviews with administrators, staff, board members and community members to determine "whether there are any violations of Cognia standards."
