STORY 1:Gwinnett Tech's Glen Cannon Appointed To AI Commission

Dr. D. Glen Cannon, President of Gwinnett Technical College, has been appointed to the Southern Regional Education Board's new Commission on Artificial Intelligence in Education. This commission, consisting of leaders from government, education, and business, aims to guide the integration of AI in classrooms and workforce preparation. It will develop recommendations for using AI in K-12 and postsecondary education, crafting related policies, and preparing students for AI careers. Cannon expressed enthusiasm for contributing to this effort, emphasizing the potential of AI to enhance learning and prepare students for a tech-driven job market.

STORY 2:Gwinnett's 2045 Unified Plan Wins ARC Regional Excellence Award

Gwinnett County received a Regional Excellence Award from the Atlanta Regional Commission for its 2045 Unified Plan, recognized in the Visionary Planning category. The plan, titled "Building the Daily Community," aims to create a vibrant, connected community ready for future growth. It addresses transit, housing, public spaces, and economic development, based on extensive community feedback. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson highlighted the plan's commitment to inclusivity and sustainability. Planning Director Matt Dickison noted its focus on improving daily life through better transportation and housing. The award honors projects enhancing sustainability and quality of life in metropolitan Atlanta.





STORY 3:Grayson Honors Bradley Blalock's MLB Journey with Jersey Retirement

Bradley Blalock's path to Major League Baseball was challenging. Despite a strong high school career at Grayson, he had only one college offer and chose to enter the 2019 MLB Draft, where the Boston Red Sox picked him in the 32nd round. His career faced setbacks, including the canceled 2020 minor league season and Tommy John surgery in 2022. After recovering, he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers and then the Colorado Rockies, where he earned his first major league win. Grayson High School honored him by retiring his No. 6 jersey, celebrating his perseverance and success as an inspiration for current players.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG

STORY 1:State tax revenues declined in October

Georgia's tax collections decreased by 3.4% in October compared to the previous year, totaling $2.53 billion, a drop of $89.7 million. This decline is partly due to an extended tax filing deadline following Hurricane Helene, pushing deadlines to May 1. Individual income tax revenue fell by 8.7%, largely due to a 36.5% drop in tax return payments. Net sales tax receipts decreased by 1%, while corporate income taxes saw a significant 47.4% decline, with reduced payments and increased refunds.

STORY 2: GCPS names finalists for Teacher of the Year

Gwinnett County Public Schools announced six finalists for Teacher of the Year from 25 semifinalists. The finalists are Amber Melander (Patrick Elementary), Katie Lessard (Puckett’s Mill Elementary), Abby Paul (Berkmar Middle), Sharese Colbert (Radloff Middle), Nakaya Manning (Central Gwinnett High), and Mia Johnson (Shiloh High). Each finalist exemplifies dedication to education, focusing on student engagement, equity, and leadership. The district's TOTY program aligns with state and national programs, with the winner serving from July 2025 to June 2026. The top teacher will be announced at a celebration on January 30.



STORY 3:State Football Playoffs: Gwinnett's First-Round Schedule

In the first round of the state high school football playoffs on Friday, November 15, Gwinnett County teams will compete in several matchups starting at 7:30 p.m. In Class AAAAAA, Archer faces Harrison, Dacula plays Carrollton, Denmark visits North Gwinnett, East Coweta challenges Buford, Mill Creek meets Douglas County, Norcross takes on Lambert, Peachtree Ridge battles North Atlanta, Pebblebrook goes against Grayson, South Gwinnett plays Hillgrove, West Forsyth visits Brookwood, and Westlake faces Collins Hill.

Break 2: 08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL

STORY 4:Suspect in murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley waives right to jury trial

The undocumented migrant accused of murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley waived his right to a jury trial, opting for a bench trial starting Friday. Riley, a 22-year-old student, was found dead on February 22 near the University of Georgia campus, with her death ruled as asphyxiation and blunt force trauma. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including murder and assault. Prosecutors seek life without parole. Ibarra, who pleaded not guilty, remains in custody. Riley's murder has sparked political debate on immigration, which her family finds distressing.

STORY 5:AROUND TOWN: It's beginning to look a lot like ....

The holiday season is kicking off at the Mall of Georgia with Santa's arrival and the annual tree lighting at the Village Amphitheatre on Saturday, featuring festivities from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and a "The Polar Express" screening at 7 p.m. Santa will be available for photos until Christmas Eve, with special events like pet photos and Caring Santa for children with special needs. Meanwhile, the 17th annual Run for Shelter 5K, benefiting the Salvation Army's Home Sweet Home program, will take place at Tribble Mill Park on Saturday, with registration at 8 a.m. and races starting at 9 a.m.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
