www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett Solicitor General Brian Whiteside raised questions Monday about the Gwinnett County Public Schools Police Department's handling of security at the May 20 county Board of Education meeting.

Whiteside said he'd heard reports that officers with the school district's police force were not immediately taking reports from attendees at the meeting who claimed they had been harassed or threatened.

The May 20 school board meeting was delayed by 40 minutes because of a standoff between board members — who asserted that the district had a policy put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic that required people where face masks in GCPS facilities — and a large group of parents who refused to wear face masks or, in the absence of wearing a mask, leave the meeting.
