A nationwide search will be conducted to fill his previous position.

STORY 2:Lawrenceville resident spreads hope and healing with Bracelet Project

Lawrenceville resident Paige Brady, 17, started making bracelets as a coping mechanism for mental health struggles, which evolved into the Bracelet Project, sending thousands of bracelets globally. After a school shooting at Apalachee High School, she organized the creation of 4,000 bracelets for the community, receiving emotional gratitude from staff and students. Brady's efforts earned her a commendation from Governor Brian Kemp. As she plans to attend BYU-Idaho and go on a church mission, she aims to continue the project, working towards making it a nonprofit and organizing a Christmas initiative to spread joy in local communities.

She has prioritized transportation, housing affordability, and economic security, and has been instrumental in initiatives like the Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center and Police Mental Health Collaboration.
