Class Notes: Mundy Mill school going nowhere fast
Placeholder Image
Gainesville Board of Education members spoke Monday night at their work session about building a school in the Mundy Mill area, but the system would need $6.3 million to get the project started, money it doesn’t have now. Gainesville City Schools Superintendent Merrianne Dyer said elementary schools in the system are at or over capacity, including Gainesville Exploration Academy, which has 970 students in a building made for 650. If an elementary school opened on the 17-acre plot on Mundy Mill Road that the school system owns, there would already be 500 students to attend there, Dyer added.
