www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Enrollment in Gwinnett County Public Schools has been lower than anticipated so far this year, but district officials said they are continuing to monitor new enrollments before determining how far off they will be from their projections.

The school system had projected having 181,268 students this year. A district-handled enrollment count conducted last week put enrollment at that time at 175,751 students, however.

“We’re about 5,000 (students) less than projections and typically we would be about 3,000 less (at this point in a school year), so the gap is somewhere around 2,000,” Associate Superintendent for School improvement and Operations Steve Flynt said as he and Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale Health District Director Dr. Audrey Arona discussed school-related COVID-19 issues last Friday.
