GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - During Tuesday night’s meeting, they approved a $56,000 contract to hire search firm HYA Corporation from Illinois to help pick the next superintendent.

Former Superintendent Diane Gullett left in July.

Doctor Danielle Brewer serves as interim, and during her comments Tuesday night, she praised everyone involved in successfully resolving the incident where an elementary school student brought a gun onto a bus Monday.

“I wanna recognize and thank the students saw something and said something. And that’s important, and that has to be our focus at all times, is to recognize students who do the right thing,” Brewer said.

Brewer also thanks the bus driver and law enforcement officers who quickly responded. No one was hurt.
