Rene Kozar GJH Assistant Principal

Gainesville ISD is proud to welcome Mrs. Rene Kozar as the new Assistant Principal of Gainesville Junior High School.

Mrs. Kozar is a native of the beautiful island of Kauai.  The values of family, community, and hard work that I learned growing up continue to guide me both personally and professionally.  She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma and was a special education teacher for 14 years, working alongside students, families, and her colleagues. Those experiences strengthened my passion for helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, and ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in educational leadership.

Free student meals continue for 26-27 school year

Gainesville ISD will continue to provide FREE MEALS for all students for the 2026-2027 school year. GISD continues to qualify for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program, which will allow GISD to provide breakfast and lunch to all children at NO CHARGE.

This program will once again enable ALL students in GISD to receive free breakfast and lunch without the requirement for families to complete the National School Lunch Program free/reduced meal application. However, districts in the CEP program are required to collect an income survey from all families. The survey is now included during the registration process. This simple and concise form will provide valuable information that will assist GISD in qualifying for a multitude of grants from additional funding sources. The survey is collected via paper form when school begins.

All enrolled students at a CEP-participating campus can receive healthy meals for free.  The free provision only applies to standard, reimbursable meals. Extra items like snacks or milk outside of the meal bundle must still be paid for separately.

For questions or concerns, please contact Starla Edgett, Child Nutrition Supervisor, at 940-668-3626 or sedgett@gainesvilleisd.org.
