GainesvilleSchoolBoardOffice
Gainesville City Schools officials made no decision Tuesday on the employment status of a middle school teacher indicted last week on a simple battery charge involving an incident with a student caught on video. Joshua Streetman, a teacher at Gainesville Middle School, remains on paid leave with the district, according to incoming Superintendent Jeremy Williams, who officially takes office July 1. Williams would not say whether Streetman’s status was discussed during a called school board meeting that was mostly spent discussing personnel issues in executive session.
