elcipse
The Gainesville and Hall County school systems will keep students at school an extra hour Aug. 21 because of the total eclipse of the sun expected to occur that afternoon. Both districts released statements Thursday afternoon announcing that all schools will dismiss an hour later than usual that day. Gainesville Superintendent Jeremy Williams and Hall County Superintendent Will Schofield said the statements and the timing of their releases were coordinated between the two school systems.
