Gainesville Middle School administration has made a number of changes in procedure this year after hearing complaints and questions from parents in the spring. Changes include a new emphasis on student behavior, changes in discipline, new procedures for picking up kids, a new assistant principal for the sixth grade and consistent communication for 2016-17. Second-year principal Rose Prejean-Harris made a presentation about the changes to the Gainesville school board in early September.
