Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) invites parents, community members, and educators to participate in the annual review of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum October 8 – November 9, 2008. The annual review ensures that the school system’s curriculum covers state requirements, as well as community and educator expectations for learning.

Parents and community members interested can make suggestions on the AKS curriculum by filling out the AKS Review Form, available on the school system’s web site (www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us). This form should be submitted prior to November 9, to the school system’s Curriculum Development Office, either by mail or email:
 

Curriculum Development Office
Instructional Support Center
437 Old Peachtree Road, NW
Suwanee, GA 30024-2978
or
AKS_Review@gwinnett.k12.ga.us

All suggestions for changes to the curriculum will be considered by the GEMS Oversight Committee, a group of community and school system representatives charged with the annual review of the AKS. That committee will recommend changes to CEO/Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks for adoption by the Board of Education. The approved changes will be implemented in the 2009-10 school year.
