Alachua County School Board

The Florida Board of Education approved on Wednesday a formal plan to improve the academic performance at nine schools statewide, including Gainesville’s Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Elementary.

The Alachua County School board unanimously agreed to hire Kamela Patton as interim school superintendent at a special meeting on Monday, Nov. 4, while it continues to search for a permanent replacement for outgoing superintendent Shane Andrew.

The School Board of Alachua County postponed its selection of an interim superintendent of schools at a special meeting on Monday and scheduled another meeting for Nov. 4 to continue discussing candidates. The board seeks to replace former Superintendent Shane Andrew, whose contract the board terminated on Oct. 15 after a 3-to-2 vote.

Parents and teachers in Newberry are rallying for the conversion of their city's public schools to public charter schools.

After a lengthy discussion and amendment process, the board passed the revised contract 3-2.
