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.
