A retired Gwinnett County Public Schools teacher who also started a nonprofit that donated books to elementary school students says he will run for a seat on the county’s school board next year.
Kirk Buis, who taught high school students for 30 years and has worked as a substitute teacher since retiring, plans to run for the District 3 seat currently held by Board Member Mary Kay Murphy in the 2024 nonpartisan election. He’s a familiar face at Gwinnett school board meetings, having addressed board on a few occasions on various topics ranging from discipline and teacher retainment to support for educators and raising literacy levels.
