Gainesville reporting spans graduation requirements set at the state level, the curriculum choices made by individual schools, and the programs that earn recognition beyond the district. Coverage runs across the city and into the communities around it wherever a school story crosses the line. Graduation requirements and the debates over what high schools should teach generate as many stories as the day-to-day life of the classroom does. Student wellbeing and the support systems schools build around it have become a steady part of the coverage.
