ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Dougherty County School Board is making good on their promise to move a group of special needs students to a more modern facility.
It's a major step in resolving a year-long dispute with Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support that found much of the Sylvandale Pre-K Center, which houses students in the Oak Tree Program, was outdated.
About 50 students with special needs will soon get bused to Sherwood Acres Elementary School.
"Ours was one of the ones that was pretty much top of the list that needed a lot of work to be done," explained Oak Tree GNET Director Kerrie Miller.
