Gainesville High School’s track is about to get a makeover — one that is critically needed, Athletic Director Billy Kirk said. The city school board on Monday night approved resurfacing the track at a cost of $168,200. The money would come from Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax IV, Chris Griner, Gainesville schools chief financial officer, said.
