Gainesville school system to hire more teachers, give raises
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Schools will spend about $68 million in its general fund budget for the next school year — an increase of nearly $4 million over the current budget. The fiscal year 2017 budget, which starts July 1, will include about $1 million in new money for additional teaching positions. Those positions are to accommodate growth in the schools’ enrollment, additional teachers for English to speaker of other languages and to “level out” pupil-teacher ratios in elementary schools.
