JROTC cadets at Gainesville High School will not have to worry about scheduling a physical education class anymore.During Monday’s Gainesville City Schools Board of Education meeting, the board voted to allow JROTC cadets to replace a traditional physical education course, required for graduation, with three credits of JROTC.“We did this so that students who wish to participate fully in JROTC do not have to skip a semester of JROTC in order to schedule a physical education course,” Superintendent Merrianne Dyer said.The JROTC course must include the comprehensive health and physical education requirements set down by the state.“JROTC students complete physical training and health education from 6:30 to 7:45 a.m. daily as part of their program,” said Dyer. “With the action of the board, they are now able to use that training time as an official physical education course.”Some components of health and physical education that the JROTC course will now be required to teach are alcohol and drug awareness, disease prevention, sex education and nutrition.The new rule is effective this next school year. City system removes 1 satellite bus stopAfter a large response from parents, the Gainesville system will take away a planned satellite bus stop.The system initially planned to have three stops for tuition students to ease the flow of traffic around the schools, especially at Centennial Arts Academy.The stops were slated for Lakewood Baptist Church, the old Green Street pool and Estates Drive.Now, buses will only run to and from Green Street pool and Estates Drive.“Many parents have notified us today that Green Street pool will be a preferred drop-off for them,” Dyer said.Dyer also said the Green Street pool location is safer for students.“At Lakewood, the bus would be stopping on the opposite side of the street as the parking spaces for cars,” she said.
