Meet 'Dr. Tarece' — and Pray for the Families in Georgia's Largest School District
In Gwinnett County, voters elect the school board members, and the board members vote among themselves to choose a chair and vice-chair. This year, the board chose Dr. Tarece Johnson to be the chairperson. Johnson was elected to the board of education in 2020, and her bio on the school system’s website reads (with emphasis added):

She is an educational leader, entrepreneur, and teacher. She is a diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice professional. Dr. Tarece is an advocate, activist, author, and artist. She is passionate about ethnic and global education and dedicated to multicultural and multilingual learning. Her current term will expire in December 2024.
