Placeholder Image
The Gainesville City school system is considering placing guns inside three of its schools. A discussion was held at the Tuesday work session of the school board about placing guns at Gainesville High School, Gainesville Middle School and Wood’s Mill Academy. Superintendent Merrianne Dyer said the Gainesville Police Department had initially approached the schools in April, shortly after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn.
