The Gainesville City School Board meeting Monday had a larger-than-average crowd, when a number of residents came to express support for Wayne Vickery. Vickery, who was not present at the meeting, has worked with the school system for 34 years, during which time he coached baseball and has most recently been working as a high school athletic director and driver’s education teacher in a part-time role. In late March, Gainesville Superintendent Wanda Creel confirmed the system would be moving in “a new direction” and creating a full-time director of athletics and student activities position.
