Gwinnett School Superintendent Says Goodbye After 25 Years

On March 18, 2021, the Gwinnett County Board of Education voted on the future employment of current CEO/Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks. The vote was a three to two decision to transition the leadership to a new superintendent. Georgia’s largest school district is currently in preparation and will conduct a four month search to find a new superintendent for the 2021-22 school year. Wilbanks’ career as superintendent in Gwinnett will end July 31, 2021. 

In an article from Gwinnett County Public Schools, Chairman Everton Blair Jr., said, “After numerous conversations between Mr. Wilbanks and the Board, we have chosen to take this action at this time in order to begin a superintendent search. As this is a pivotal period in our district’s history, we want to ensure we have the time needed to find a candidate of the highest caliber who is ready to build on the many things established during Mr. Wilbanks’ tenure.”
