www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The Gwinnett County school district is proposing revisions to its student discipline code that aim to clarify and narrow the scope of the code in accordance with recent court rulings.

Administrators are also considering broader changes to reduce inequities in discipline in Gwinnett, where Black and Hispanic students and students with disabilities make up higher proportions of discipline cases than their share of the overall student population.

“It is critical that we continue to work together to guarantee the code of conduct is supportive for each student,” Eric Thigpen, executive director of academic support, recently told the school board.
