Break 1: M.O.G. STORY 1: Gwinnett Leaders Push Back Against State Superintendent's AP African-American Studies Decision Mallory Fannin and other teachers at Central Gwinnett High School were preparing to offer Advanced Placement African-American Studies this fall when State School Superintendent Richard Woods decided against state funding for the course. This decision, announced days before the school year starts, has sparked backlash from Gwinnett County officials and education advocates. They argue that excluding the AP course undermines students' representation and educational opportunities. Critics, including state lawmakers and local board members, argue the move aligns with recent laws restricting the teaching of certain concepts. The decision could influence upcoming elections, highlighting the broader debate over educational content and representation. STORY 2: Gwinnett Schools Down To 20 Teacher Vacancies With the 2024-2025 school year starting on August 5, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has 20 teacher vacancies, a significant improvement from past years. GCPS Chief Human Resources Officer Cathy Hardin reported this is the lowest number of vacancies seen pre-school opening in years. The district, which had 71 vacancies in mid-July, has filled about 1,500 new teaching positions and hired 98% of its 2023-2024 student teachers. Additionally, all bus driver positions are filled, positioning GCPS as a leader in staffing compared to other districts. STORY 3: Gwinnett Police Searching For Killer Of Lawrenceville Man Found Dead In His Truck Gwinnett County police are seeking public help to identify a suspect in the murder of 40-year-old Guadalupe Garcia Rodriguez from Lawrenceville. Rodriguez was reported missing on July 1 by his wife, and his body was discovered in his truck on July 3. Police have released photos of a Hispanic male suspect in his 20s or 30s with a slim build, last seen walking on Bethesda Church Road near Hidden Dr. Anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) for potential rewards.

Despite initial fears and the need for hip surgery in early 2017, Pappoe made a swift recovery, thanks to his dedication and superior athletic conditioning. He later surprised his surgeon, Dr. Cliff Willimon, with a visit to thank him for his care. Pappoe also gave back to the community by visiting young patients at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, driven by his own family's experience with sickle cell disease. As he prepares for his second NFL season, Pappoe is focused on improving and contributing both on and off the field. STORY 5: Gwinnett County receives 31 national achievement awards Gwinnett County has set a new record by earning 31 National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Awards for implemented programs in 2023, exceeding last year's total of 22. This is the highest number of awards the county has achieved in more than 50 years.

The incident unfolded when 16-year-old Mia Campos was found dead in a wooded area off Stephens Road on July 15. Her family reported her missing the night before after she left home with an unidentified person and did not return. A subsequent autopsy confirmed her death as a homicide. Monroy initially faced charges for providing false information to police but was later implicated in Campos' murder.

STORY 2: Arson Charges Filed After Fire Damages Lawrenceville Home In Lawrenceville, three people narrowly escaped a house fire on Iron Gate Court after a neighbor called 911 just before 9 p.m. on Saturday.

A grandson of the homeowners is accused of starting the fire, allegedly seen fleeing with gas cans by a neighbor who detained him until police arrived. The suspect faces charges of arson and aggravated assault. Fortunately, the occupants were alerted by neighbors since their home lacked working smoke detectors. Fire crews arrived to find extensive damage, including a well-involved garage and significant damage throughout the house, but all occupants were safely outside.

Each year, only 20 out of over 100 applicants are chosen for this role, which involves introducing new students and families to campus life.
