Gainesville City Schools braces for federal cuts
Placeholder Image
When President Barack Obama ordered broad federal spending cuts known as sequestration last Friday, the Gainesville Board of Education and Superintendent Merrianne Dyer knew where cuts might occur within the Gainesville City Schools system. At Monday’s board of education work session, Christine Brosky, director of development, said the cuts could be between 9 and 11 percent, but Dyer said it might be more like 5 percent. Either way, schools will feel the cuts, but not until the 2013–2014 school year.
