By Jyot Singh, GMS&T, Class of 2017 LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | I am a proud product of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and I was lucky enough to see the impact of our community’s commitment firsthand. From my first day of middle school to graduating from a leading Gwinnett high school in 2017, I spent many years learning, growing, and thriving in spaces built, maintained, and modernized by one simple, yet powerful, idea: the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, or E-SPLOST.
