www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The five-member Gwinnett County Public Schools board of education unanimously Thursday chose Everton Blair Jr. as this year’s chair, kicking off a new era after the departure of former chair Louise Radloff, who served nearly half a century on the board.


Blair, 28, two years ago became the Gwinnett school board’s first Black member. No other members were nominated for president at the meeting. His win was met with applause from a socially distanced audience of dozens in the board room at school district headquarters.
