Gwinnett Chamber fetes J. Alvin Wilbanks ahead of his last day as superintendent of Gwinnett County Public Schools

When outgoing Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks wakes up Monday morning, it will be the first time in decades that he hasn’t had to think about how his decisions will impact the education of students.

But, that doesn’t mean Wilbanks — whose last day as the superintendent of Georgia’s largest school system is this weekend — will be able to sleep in and relax when next week rolls around and GCPS is preparing for the start of a new school year without him at the helm.
