GAINESVILLE - Members of the Hall County Board of Education Monday night approved a local redistricting plan for the school system, a proposal that would change voting districts but not school attendance zones.
According to Schools Superintendent Will Schofield, the board will send the proposal to the county legislative delegation for review. In essence, the plan would move the Clermont precinct to the North Hall district from East Hall, move the Fork voting district from North to West Hall and move the Oakwood 2 voting district from South Hall into the West Hall district.
Schofield emphasized that the redistricting has no bearing on where students will attend school.
In other BOE business:
*Board members approved $1,053,466 for Phase One of a four phase plan to add significant student technology over the next 13 months to all schools. SPLOST IV funds would be used for the equipment.

*Richard Hill updated the board on screening procedures for potential future teacher hires at elementary, middle and high school levels. Schofield said with the large number of applicants, a group screening and interview process has been created to maximize efficiencies and ensure the best candidate is hired for all openings.
