The Gainesville City School Board approved a new calendar for the upcoming school year, and voted to memorialize a Gainesville educator by naming the first floor of a new building after her. The board also signed their Code of Ethics and Conflict of Interest forms, as they do each January, approved a legislation amendment to provide more clarity on their operations, and got the latest on a recent Chromebook purchase. School board adopts non-traditional calendar for '21-'22 Next year's calendar will look strikingly similar to this year's, the board decided in a unanimous vote. "We have to be very realistic about the fact that COVID will not be entirely gone, so what we would like to do is instead of having a traditional calendar, as we've had in years past, is have a calendar with similarities to this year."
